Hello. I replaced one of two timers on my pool yesterday (I have done this before). Prior to replacement, the booster pump timer didn't move but the switched worked and allowed me to manually turn on the Polaris. As I said, I have done this before and here was my procedure:
1. Turn off power at the breaker.
2. Turn off the on/off switch the feeds into the timer box.
3. Take photos of the connections
4. Remove the old timer and move the wires to the new timer
5. Place new timer in box
6. Turn on breaker
7. Turn on the on/off switch the feeds into the timer box
8. Turn on the main and booster pump timer - NOTHING.
I am getting nothing when they are turned on. No sound whatsoever from either pump. I reconfirmed wiring (correct) and tested the electrical. An electrician friend of mine came over and tested everything from the box to the switch to the timer and from the timer to the pumps (actually removed the pump covers and confirmed that electricity was getting to the pumps. The capacitors look good.
I am lost. I cannot figure out what is going on. The switches on the timer work. they are sending electricity at the correct voltage when they are turned on (120 / side).
I cannot believe that both pumps burnt out at the same time.
Help!
