Just replaced an old seized pump with exact BRAND NEW kind from Century and got the dreaded "humming not running" issue and went thru all typical culprits of capacitor function, voltage, free-turning impeller, etc - no dice. While removing starting capacitor on back of motor noticed the wire...

Oh man, wish I'd found this thread years ago! Our spa has been doing random things off/on for years, but just infrequently enough I thought it was some glitch in the system. This makes perfect sense, tho, since all the issues are with functions of the spa switch - spa light turning itself on...

Anyone ever seen these lights that seem to be coming from behind the panel cover? If I power down the system and turn back on they disappear. This is the 2nd time I've noticed it. Recently replaced the main board with the iAqualink but am using the old RS4 as an indoor 2nd controller. I'm...

UPDATE: I took the old RS4 controller, set the jumpers to make it the "2nd" controller in the series and just tapped in the same lines already running to the iAquaLink I'd had going since I got the new PCB set up outside. Works like a charm. And even better this evening the temperature is...

Gotcha, thanks. I'll follow up with if/how it works.

No ideas?

UPDATE - So to follow up with my similar issue: I drained the equipment and left town with peace of mind that it wouldn't be damaged and I'd save a bundle in electric bill being off all week. When I got back I put in a new relay thinking that might be the issue. The problem seemed solved and...

Howdy! After I had issues with my pump rapidly turning on and off I tried replacing the relay only to have it happen again when the temps got close to freezing again. So I figured the board may be bad and got a new iAqualink system complete with new PCB. It works great and the rapid firing...

I have the exact same thing happening in the DFW area now with our Aqualink RS4. Was a solution ever determined or anyone else heard of this happening? The temperature is right at the freeze protect point and I've tried everything, but it keeps rapidly powering on and off. Even when the temp...
