Update: I managed to stumble upon the solution and everything is now fixed. I went ahead and swapped one of the unused relays but that did not solve the issue, which ruled out a bad relay. Up until now there’s been another problem that I’ve been ignoring that I did not believe could be related...

Okay, this time with a voltmeter: all equipment off: Pins 1-3 - 0v Pins 2-4 - 0v pool pump on: Pins 1-3 - 242v Pins 2-4 - 0v sweep on, during delay (pool pump on) - same as above. sweep on, after delay (pool pump on) - same. No voltage across 2-4. So, bad relay? I assuming I just swap out...

I’ve done some more troubleshooting, using a circuit tester to check for power to the sweep pump after the start delay, and there is no power running to it (and pool pump still stays on until I start/stop the spa). So this does not appear to be a burned out pump situation. I also shut off and...

Only a few seconds. I cycled it on and off 2 or 3 times while troubleshooting but was careful to not let it run for any length of time.

Yes, the sweep and cleaner pump are the same. It worked after I moved it, but no water flowed since the pool valve/actuator was closed to the pool return line. But for some reason now that I’ve corrected the actuator toggle switch the the cleaner pump doesn’t kick on any more. The cleaner is...

It’s dark now so I’ll send some pics in the morning. The cleaner is a polaris 280 pressure side cleaner and pump, not on a valve.

Making progress...yes, one of the toggle switches was set to the wrong on position. Fixed it now and the pool, spa, and spillway are functioning properly!! The cleaner is still not functioning though. When I switch it on the pool pump comes on and the delay timer starts, as it normally did...

Okay, the pool and spa valves do still work. The actuators move to different positions. The problem is valves are now opening/closing to the wrong positions. When just the pool pump is on, all water flows through the spa (and returns from the pool), rather than flowing through both the pool...

Okay, so circuit names are still there for aux 1 thru 5. The others are not used. Aux1 is the cleaner. 2 is waterfall. 5 is spillway (3 and 4 are lights). If I understand correctly then the next step is to re-assign each circuit to the appropriate valve? Thanks.
