Thank you so much for your help!! 🙂

You were absolutely correct. Nothing wrong with the Intermatic... just with the "electrician". :-( Ok, so I think I'm going with the ECM16CU... my only concern is that everything will line up with my current pump. I will attach photos of my pump and motor plates. I feel like I'm overcomplicating...

Wow... I was way off. That makes way more sense. So, I had disconnected all the wires accept for the 2 input wires (220v), so now I realize I need to reconnect power to the line side of the circuits, as you said (jumped from 1 to 3,5,7)... then test again as you stated. SMH

Sooooo. I'm hoping I can get away with not using the P1353ME at all (since it's broken) and just use one of the options you suggested (thanks by the way... I hadn't considered upgrading to VS as an option) Those VS motors appear to have some built in timer / programming functionality, but one of...

Switched 2 Mode 1 (3 independent circuits with no time delay). Switch each circuit "on" and check with voltmeter (ACV) across Load / Line terminals.

OK... I got it now. I ran across the retrofit option on the Inyo site that listed the same Century VS options you mentioned. I am fairly familiar with P1353ME. I did switch back to Mode 1 (3 independent circuits with no time delay) before I did my testing... I'm pretty sure something is messed...

Good to know on the new regulations. I'm looking at close to $900 to replace the existing equipment, so I may as well move up to the VS. I checked on the rebate. It requires a contractor to install it and there are no contractors listed for my area. :-(

I apologize up front if I'm not following or if I was unclear in my post. My issue is that the motor for my Hayward Pump is not working at all. I probably shouldn't have mentioned the booster pump as it is not relevant to my issue. It is a separate pump/motor that isn't being used and only pumps...

Went out to turn on my pump to backwash and it's dead. Need some help deciding best way to get pool up and running again. Equipment I have a 5 year old Hayward SP2610X152S Super Pump 1.5 HP Pool Pump, Dual-Speed. My digital timer is a 5 year old Intermatic P1353ME using Mode 4 (for dual speed...

My swg pool is supposed to be kept at 6ppm FC. But the Nautilus CC Plus that I just bought says that the max FC is 4 ppm. Are there any other pool cleaners that can handle more than 4 ppm? Does this seem unreasonable to anyone else besides me?

I have an Rj-45 Plus that is in it's 4th year. Was working until a few days ago when I got a High Temp warning on the display. The temp is reading 164 degrees F. I called discountsaltpool.com where I purchased it. They recommended cleaning the cell before sending the unit in for repair. I have...

There is lots of information on this site. In the Pool School section of the site (See the Main Menu at the top) there is an article called Defeating Algae. I recommed starting there. Here is a link Pool School - Defeating Algae

My bad. I totally missed it.
