I want to thank this forum in advance for the help that I undoubtedly know I will receive. I have gotten tons of incredibly useful advice from this forum that has helped get to the point where I finally used my pool for the first time yesterday!
Let me explain what I am trying to do. I have a motorized ball valve that controls a 1/2" fill line that runs to the pool. The valve takes 12 VDC power. I also have a fire pit with electronic ignition and both are sharing same breaker, different relays. Long story short fire pit works, fill line doesn't. I have a 15 amp breaker that I wired to Aux 4 and jumped power from Aux 4 to Aux 5. Aux 4 load runs to fire pit and Aux 5 over to an Intermatic PX50 transformer. Wiring diagram showed yellow on the low voltage side as 12V and red as common. I purchased a 12 VAC to 12 VDC converter/rectifier which has brown and blue wires exposed on each end. I connected the yellow 12 VAC from transformer to brown on converter and blue to red on the AC side. Ball valve has red and black for positive/negative. On DC side of converter, I connected red to brown and black to blue. Fire pit fires up without issue when hitting the Aux 4 button but I can't seem to get ball valve to turn on when hitting Aux 5 button. I confirmed all relays are plugged in on low voltage side of Easytouch 8. Attached are pics of the converter and the relays where I jumped power.
