Thank you! that was it. I'm glad this board replacement fixed it... because I was not sure what else I could replace :) Thanks everyone.

Hi -- Actually I know the calcium is high, but I don't have a specific number. I'll take a sample down to my local pool store for testing... thanks for the idea behind using vinegar, I'll try that next time I get a sensor issue. I have notoriously hard water here in Texas, and I'm thinking of...

My calcium is high, but the new sensor hasn't been exposed to it yet, so I don't think thats it. Also the salt cell is 1 month old... What's weird is the brand new sensor cable has been replaced, but now the sensor cable lights don't even come on... I pulled out the 15amp fuse from the 1400...

Hi -- thanks for responding... Yes, I'm using Jandy cells ...

Interesting... I'm having a problem with my 1400 salt cell ... I am getting 172 errors, and I've replaced everything, the salt cell, the power cable and the sensor. That worked for about a month, and then again I'm getting 172, 183 and 184 errors. I've bought yet another new sensor, that didn't...

I have a similar problem with a older jandy value that 2 of the screws are stripped out... and now that I've moved to a 3HP pool pump, it's leaking water... so about to do the same trick with filling the damaged screw holes with putty, then either immediately "threading" them in wrapped in...

Hi Everyone So I replaced the 40amp TWO POLE breaker with a new one, and I wired the new Pentair Pump to the Load Inputs of the relay, and it seems to work great, so that seems to have been the issue. Just wanted to thank everyone here for helpful tips ... and I guess the lesson here is when...

you are correct, Putting two 20 amp breakers in parallel will not make a 40 amp breaker because the load will not be balanced between the two breakers. The pair will probably allow more that 20 amps but because there will be a little difference in the current though each breaker, the total will...

Hi Mark Yes I already wired that ... thank you for proactively mentioning this... that is why this website ROCKS... people like you here... (thank you) I went ahead and rewired the panel, I removed the extra hot completely that was running to the old 2 stage motor, but I left the 2 stage relay...

Thanks all for replying... it looks like my 40AMP upstream breaker is bad ... it's a older Cutler Hammer 40amp 2pole breaker CH style, which the big box stores don't have in stock, so I had to order one... meanwhile I'll have my sump pump going 24x7 and dumping bleach everyday! ... I'll let ya...

Hi Poolbreh -- thanks for the suggestions. This panel spaghetti situation comes from hiring pool help off craigslist... and he disappeared so now I have to trace everything. OK, so the power to the Pentair pump should be coming from the LINE, not LOAD? Actually -- larger question... before with...

Hi Guys My diffuser in my old 2 speed pool pump died. So I wanted to replace the pump -- and quick so I went down to my local Leslie's and bought a Pentair 11056 VSF pump I couldn't get a tech here to install it, so I decided to do it myself. I have a iaqualink RS system and I figured I could...
