Had an unusual loss of power in the last couple days.
Let me start with a little history.
Earlier this year, I had an automatic valve go bad and kept blowing the fuse. Also discovered that it burned out the power supply. After replacing the power supply, fuses and valve control, everything worked fine all summer.
This week, while closing the pool, I ran a sump pump over night to drain the pool. I flipped the breakers off for the filter pump, polaris, and blower/heater. I did not realize I left the breaker for the PDA on. That night, I'm thinking the PDA might have triggered the freeze protection, but the pump was not powered on. A couple days later, I realized there was no power to the PDA. However, when the breakers are on, there is power to the blower, the heater and the GFI outlet/lights.
Is it possible leaving the PDA breaker on without the pump may have burned out the power supply again? All fuses are intact, also. I have not checked any of the other relays that might be in there and have not opened the middle section of the box.
I will probably pull the power supply and check it at some point. But thought I would check to see if anyone else has seen this issue.
