Method of controlling a pump and motor

A controller for a pump driven by a motor, the pump in fluid communication with a fluid system, the controller comprising:

• a control panel including a display, directional buttons, and an enter button;
• and
• a variable frequency drive circuit that controls operation of the pump, the variable frequency drive circuit connected to the control panel, the variable frequency drive circuit configured to:
• monitor a pressure in the fluid system,
• monitor and adjust an operating frequency of the motor to maintain the pressure at a pressure set point, the pressure set point being programmable by a user using the directional buttons and the enter button,
• based on the monitored operating frequency, cause the pump to temporarily boost the pressure in the fluid system to a temporary boost set point for a first time period, the temporary boost set point being programmable by a user using the directional buttons and the enter button,
• determine whether the temporarily boosted pressure in the fluid system stays above the pressure set point for a second time period, and
• cause the pump to enter a sleep mode when the temporarily boosted pressure stays above the pressure set point through the second time period.
