Pool pump model is Hayward Replacement Series RS2000. The motor is Century 2 HP B130 Part #5224X.

Hi - Today (5/21/20) I noticed my pool pump when powered on immediately makes a "pop" sound and a quick spark or flash at the rear of the motor (very small fraction of a second) and my breaker trips immediately. The pump doesn't even get a chance to start up. Because the pump doesn't even have...

Disconnecting the spa remote worked! The functions that goes on by itself no longer does. Note on the pool light going on by itself; I disconnected the spa light relay from the control panel couple of years ago because water got into the housing where the light bulb is so no longer works. I now...

Never thought of that! I'll give that a try. However, it doesn't explain why the pool light goes on by itself during the winter. Any idea why that's happening?

Where the spa is located, there are buttons to turn on the pump, heater, spa light, and air blower. My RS4 system does not have a wireless remote control.

Hi, The past 2 winters, while in "Auto" mode, my Aqualink RS4 turns on the pump for "Spa" filtering, turns on the heater for the spa, and turns on the pool light. This is all by itself and there is no ryhme or reason and it's constant (when, for example the spa filtering would turn on, I would...

Per Gregvi's instructions, I added my pool light to the freeze protection so to have the pool pump and the pool light turn on when freeze protection kicks in. Tested it (placed air temp sensor in a cup of ice water) and it worked perfectly. Both the pool pump and pool light turned on at my...

Hi - This is great info. What is the purpose moving the pool light to an unused AUX5 control?

Answer: 1). Yes, it only happens when the freeze protection kicks on. 2). My pool was built around 1998 so I don't think my Aqualink has the maintain temperature feature (I've owned the house since 2012).

I have not solved the problem or heard anything. I've even replaced the air temperature sensor but did not solve the issue. Right now, 11/22/13, with our temp hovering around mid 30 degrees, I just keep the whole system powered off, and will turn it back on when the temperature goes back higher...

Thanks for the reply. Keeping the pump running overnight (coldest is at night so freeze protection kicks in) does not help. The freeze protection will activate when it's cold enough and will start to pulsate the pump sporadically. Wondering if anyone else has this problem.

Hi, I purchased a house with an inground salt water pool (1st time maintaining a pool). It came with a Aqualink RS4 control system. This system appears to be old. The previous owner left all the instruction manuals and I read everything. The issue I'm having is the freeze protection activates...
