A system and method for reducing the energy consumption of a swimming pool cleaning system is disclosed. The system isolates and selectively operates the skimmer for a first predetermined time period inputted into a programmable controller. At the conclusion of this time period, the programmable controller activates an actuator which causes a diverter valve to isolate and selectively operate a suction vacuum for a second predetermined time period. Isolating and selectively operating the skimmer from the suction vacuum allows the centrifugal pump to be driven by a motor in low speed mode to be used all of the time for skimming and cleaning operations, thereby greatly reducing energy consumption. A similar system is disclosed for isolating and selectively operating a pressure cleaner. Methods for employing both systems are disclosed.
