I have a Jandy controlled pool system that has been up and running for 20 years. We upgraded to an Intelliflo pump about 8 years ago and all worked well until recently. The intelliflo pump is causing electrical "noise" which interferes with my power line electronics in the rest of the house. In speaking with others, it was suggested that I install the Intelliflo on its own Pentair GFCI breaker. I looked at my box and I suspect we are not wired as we should be.
My panel has room for 8 single pole breakers, or 4 dual pole breakers (I have 3 dual pole breakers and 2 single pole). Right now Breaker 1 (30 amp dual pole) controls the Intelliflo pool pump, the salt water chlorinator, and my spa pump (Heyward 1.5 HP). Breaker 2 (30 amp dual pole) controls the two Spa Jet pumps (both Heyward 2.0 HP). Beaker 3 (30 amp dual pole) controls the spa air blower. Breakers 4 and 5 control the pool and spa lights.
I do not see how I can add another breaker. But the advice I have is to get the spa pump off the same breaker as the pool pump. Any ideas? Can I put the spa pump with the spa jet pumps or the air blower?
