Hello all of my fellow TFP'ers. I live in Texas and am now having issues with our pump (or possibly control board) since the winter storm came through. I have a Pentair Easy Touch and IntelliFlo 4 pump. Prior to the storm, I had the schedule set and no issues. The storm came through and I covered all of the equipment and let "Freeze Protection" do it's thing. We lost power around 2AM on the first morning. When I woke up that morning, I shut off the breaker for the pool equipment and left it off until the weather warmed up. I also drained the pump via the two plugs and left the plugs off and re-covered the equipment.
When the weather warmed up, I put the equipment back together and fortunately for us, everything was working as usual. A few days later I noticed that during my schedule run, the pump was off, but the "Filter Pump" button was on at the outdoor control panel. So I hit the "Filter Pump" button to turn the control off. I waited a few seconds and then hit the "Filter Pump" button and the light came on and subsequently the pump also turned on (as it's supposed to). I went back inside and noticed a few minutes later (3-5 minutes) that the pump was no longer running. I went back out and noticed the "Filter Pump" light is still on but the pump is off. This has been the norm ever since. During Schedule or manual operations in "Auto" mode the pump runs for around 3-5 minutes and then turns itself off. There are no Egg Timers set and because I have "Free Nights" with my current electricity provider, I run the pool from 9pm-5am.
Has anyone had any issues similar to this and do you have any suggestions on how I can troubleshoot to eliminate some possibilities? Thanks in advance.
