BTW, after spending a little more time observing I noticed that it has a tendancy to cut out after a "cold" start up. That is, after sitting off for several hours. After the pump has run for about 30 minutes the problem seems to go away.

Yes, I was thinking that. The relays are also fairly cheap. I may just pick one up and keep it as a spare if it is not the issue. Thanks for all the replys.

OK, thanks. No brown out issues here. Development was built in 2003-2004 and has quality electrical service. Plus, the spa jets and in-floor pumps are not cutting out so it is isolated to this motor. Question: Do the motors have a load sensor that may cause this? I do know that my spa main...

How would I check/test that?

I may give Pentair a call and see if there is a known issue. I am on my third dimmer control for the light. They only seem to last 2-3 years and then they go wacky so maybe there is a similar motor controller part that can be replaced? Also, let me clarify that the motor does not even...

OK, I’m stumped. My 2004 Whisperflo 2.0hp filter pump motor just started cutting out randomly for less than a second at a time. System is controlled by a Jandy One-Touch RS8. It happens about every 30 seconds to 2 minutes. The motor and capacitor cover are NOT hot at all. I had this pool built...

How did this go for you? The best results here in AZ are always achieved by a professional media blast.

Thanks for the input. That makes sense. I thought it sounded too good to be true.

Interesting thread. I have a pool biz in AZ and we often run into high CYA issues here due to extensive use of tri-chlor tabs and di-chlor shock by pool owners and many poolmen. Lots of sun and warm water compound the problem. I personally like to keep my CYA under 70ppm and find that this works...
