I was trying to revive an old post but it wouldn't let me so here is my experience fixing the wheel skipping issue on a Proteus DX4. I've seen a few posts about it but I figure I add my own to the archive! :swim: I think the problem is sand getting stuck between the wheel and the white bearing...

Ok I guess I'm going to leave this issue unresolved. The main thing is that the switch IS 240v so that was not the cause of the burning of the unit. The switch was installed to control the older single pump but now its connected to both the VST pump and the SWG, so I don't really need a switch...

Hi and sorry, it's been a busy week. The switch controlled both the Pump and the SWG. they are both plugged straight to the plug (with no GFCI protection) as seen in the photo. I juts received the Breeze 540 unit. I want to make sure that it doesn't burn just like the Jacuzzi 540 that's why I'm...

Yeah I actually got 2 cells replaced for free! (the black one in the photos was the original Jacuzzi one and the blue is the CMP powercell). The problem is that the power module died recently and that is one covered for one year. Here is their warranty from a recent email:

So after digging in, the receptacle has a 120v outlet and a 240v switch. Not sure how to turn the switch into a GFCI so I might just add a 240v outlet... which is a bit confusing to have a 120 and a 240 next to each other! Other than that I assume it's all 20A since the breaker is 20A. I need to...

yeah that's the ground. Looks normal to me.

I use a Dolphin Proteus DX4 with fine filters (not ultra fine) and it does ok with my desert sand. I'm sure the Ultra-Fine would be better but they need to be replaced eventually so better save for stubborn sand! What I do wish I would have gotten is the next model (DX5?) where you can control...

Yeah your napkin math is correct! Running at 240v changes everything. The outlets are still 120v that's what confused me, but the switch is definitely 240v. I might exchange the switch for a 20A GFCI outlet. Not sure I can find a switch with GFCI... I am assuming it's 20A since the breaker is...

You were right! I opened it up and surely the 2 outlets are regular 120v but the switch (which controls power to both the pump and the SWG) is 240v. There are 2 red wires going in and then a black and a white one going into both the Pump and the SWG. The receptacle and switch are both grounded...
