Thought I would give an update on the pool light. As ajw22 suggested, it was not the transformer. It was definitely the pool light itself. The pool light was covered under warranty and it finally got replaced a few weeks ago from the pool company. The only annoyance is the Omni Hub settings...

Just in case this helps anyone out in the future, I thought I'd lay out my thoughts/review on the Haward Aquavac 650 vs the Hayward TigerShark QC. So why am I replacing an Aquavac 650 with a Tigershark? Right towards the end of my 3 year warranty period a few weeks ago, the Aquavac 650 died...

Just tested and 12v is showing exactly 12.0-12.1 range on multimeter. The 120v is showing 122.2-122.6 range. So I believe this means transformer is good. I do hear transformer humming so it's working. Unfortunately right after my post I was reading a ton of posts right on this forum of people...

Well Crud that isn't what I like to hear. I will check them here shortly when I get home and see where I'm at. If it isn't the transformer I'll be a little at a loss on what to do next. I guess check whatever the transformer connects to which I think is the smart relay. The smart relay does...

Ah didn't realize that was on the cover. Yes though I would definitely classify myself as a novice electrician, I have checked voltages before, was just trying to figure out what they should read. That tells me what I need to know. Appreciate the info from both of you. I talked to the pool...

Good question. I really don't know for sure but as I look at the picture I took of the inside of it, it doesn't look like it does, though I can't see fully inside. From the attachment you linked, it looks like it would be attached on my left side of wires (the ones running to the 120v). So...

Well, the hits just keep on coming lol. As usual let me know if I should start a new thread somewhere else but figured I'd stick with my master thread. My pool light won't turn on. I have what I believe is a Universal Colorlogic light from Hayward. This is a stock Hayward brand light that...

Appreciate the reply. Yes I do believe you are correct that they also installed a new power end. Think it also explains why all of my settings were reset. On the camera it didn't take them long to replace it all and looks like they took out everything past the 6 bolts and replaced it with a...

Update on my situation. They actually made it out last week while I was on vacation and replaced the motor under warranty no questions asked and didn't cost me anything. I was definitely happy about that but the negative was they wiped all my settings within my Omni hub upon replacing it. Why...

Yea 1700ish rpm's on my 900 runs right at 200 watts and does a great job of keeping pool filtered and clean. 950 looks like its more HP and more expensive....wonder if money were no object, is it better to have an oversized pump or not. I figure whatever they want to do I'll be good with to...

Great advice. I actually have one anyway that I use to drain the pool in the offseason as rain fills it. Only issue is I won't be there all of next week. Of course I am going to be out on vacation for 6 total days (literally could not have picked a more worse time for this to go out) so thats...

That's encouraging to see. Yea on the phone they indicated to me that it shouldn't be any issue with warranty covering, but maybe an issue on time frame both for them to get out there (next week) and maybe for parts. They said they do have replacement Tristar 950 VSP stuff in stock but would...

Yes, all Hayward using Hayward Omni Hub. Pump is hooked directly to the omnihub to where the panel on the pump itself doesnt even turn on. All is done on the omnihub. Pool company sort of indicated it'd all be under warranty but no idea if I have to pay labor regardless and if not I sure hope...
