I was hoping for a sanity check of the electrical work I am about to do as I'm not as versed in electrical wiring.
Background:
I have a Jandy Variable Speed Pump (VSPHP270DV2AS) setup with a iQPUMP01 so the main pump is controlled off a schedule on the app. My main control system is an Aqualink R8. Because of this, when I lose power, the older R8 system will reset the time, and sometimes my cleaner booster pump will be "scheduled" to run while my main pump is at low speed or even off. Over the last year, on a couple of occasions the booster pump has run while at low speed/off and burned up the motor so I'm replacing it with a Polaris Booster Pump-PB4-60. The new booster pump claims it has "Ultra-low flow requirements allow the booster pump to operate on the low speed of a 2-speed or variable-speed pump for energy savings" but I can't seem to find the minimum flow requirement AND this doesn't solve the problem of if the time is WAY off and the main pump is not running at all.
Recently I've found out that there are two (2) Auxiliary Relays on the VSP that are speed dependent which If I'm wiring to, I'm hoping will prevent the booster from running unless the main pump's minimum speed is met.
That's where I would like some help verifying my plans before I rewire everything
Proposed Solution:
I'm proposing running new wiring (the existing booster pump wiring isn't long enough to reach the VSP) from the Aqualink control panel to the VSP Auxiliary Relay and then go to new booster speed pump in the normal wiring configuration.
Does anyone see any issues with this or any suggestions on anything else I should do? Thanks in advance
