    Pump not working but looks like have power to it. Hayward 2.7 VSP. Behavior of bad capacitor on a pump?

    Thank you mas985, I tried powering on relay module first, waited 10+ sec, then turned on pump + controller (it's same breaker), but error is still there. Thank you James as well, good to know. Luckily I am able to get a technician to come out tomorrow(most were overbooked due to summer), so...

    Pump not working but looks like have power to it. Hayward 2.7 VSP. Behavior of bad capacitor on a pump?

    Thanks JamesW & Jim, appreciate your feedback. I think you may be right on multimeter being cheap, I'll try to borrow another for 2nd read. Side note, I'm still seeing below error message on Omnilogic device, would this be a contributor of motor not being powered in some way...

    Pump not working but looks like have power to it. Hayward 2.7 VSP. Behavior of bad capacitor on a pump?

    Looks like I'm getting 260v to pump (reading L1&L2). Is motor control board bad possibly? Or does the entire pump need to be replaced? Thanks for your help

    Pump not working but looks like have power to it. Hayward 2.7 VSP. Behavior of bad capacitor on a pump?

    Thank you Jimahbe, makes sense. I'll retest to ensure I go direct between L1 & L2 to see if I get 240. Update = just checked between L1 to L2 and it reads 261. So I'm assuming I'm getting power to motor but there's something wrong with the motor itself. Is it safe to assume that with 260...

    Spa draining water, check valve installed incorrectly? add 2nd check valve?

    JamesW, thanks for your suggestion. I hadn't thought about Red-Dot location prior to valve position. I'm not sure what I need to look for on three way valve on the returns, but I can do some research and check it out. Sorry, don't know how to turn on/off Spillover mode. I don't recall seeing...

    Spa draining water, check valve installed incorrectly? add 2nd check valve?

    Thanks Jimrahbe, appreciate your view. I'll unscrew the cap and check the flap to see if there's any debris, easy and worth checking again based on feedbacks. Sounds like 2nd check valve may not be a common thing, good to know.
