    Hayward ColorLogic 100' 120VAC cable stuck in conduit. No strings attached.

    Is there anything I have to do to remove the lubricant after I get the new light installed? I am a little concerned about the lubricant making its way into the general pool water.

    Hayward ColorLogic 100' 120VAC cable stuck in conduit. No strings attached.

    When I pulled the grounding (bonding) cable out, it must of pulled a little of the LED cable. I have about 8 inches to try and pull. I wonder if it would be less risky to purchase a Cable Pulling Sock? I am a little fearful of the cable breaking again.

    Hayward ColorLogic 100' 120VAC cable stuck in conduit. No strings attached.

    The pool was constructed around 2008, so it's about 13 years old. I don't think the conduit has collapsed. I really was not pulling that hard on the cable when it broke and I made about 10 foot of progress. The LED stopped working about a year and a half ago, but since the other still worked, I...

    Hayward ColorLogic 100' 120VAC cable stuck in conduit. No strings attached.

    I have successfully pulled and replaced 1 x ColorLogic light, but the second fixture cable is stuck in conduit. I attached a proper nylon pulling line to the ColorLogic light cable (3 conductor) near the junction box, then started pulling the cable from the pool side. Started off great, but...

    Hayward pump starts, but is noisy and trips breaker.

    Hi James, Sorry for my lack of response. I was running out of time in anticipation for the hard freeze forecast for my area this past week, so I went ahead and purchased a new motor. I received the new motor the day before the freeze and was able to get it installed and working. I am keeping the...

    Hayward pump starts, but is noisy and trips breaker.

    Yes. The motor wires were disconnected from the relays.

    Hayward pump starts, but is noisy and trips breaker.

    I called a motor repair shop this morning and was quoted $75 evaluation fee to test the motor. If they are able to fix the motor, they will apply the $75 towards the repair parts and maintenance. Not too bad, but it's a good 40 minute drive to get there. When I explained to the service...

    Hayward pump starts, but is noisy and trips breaker.

    I have previously checked the programming and it was setup for 2 speed operation. This was a working system. I replaced the motor/pump in April of 2019. I have not touched anything electrical since then.

    Hayward pump starts, but is noisy and trips breaker.

    I disconnected both ends of the motor wiring and checked for shorts. All clear.

    Hayward pump starts, but is noisy and trips breaker.

    Okay. I think we are on to something, but what... I don't know... The voltage readings make ZERO sense to me. I took them twice. Off W <-- 0.90 VAC --> B R <-- 1.36 VAC --> B W <-- 0.64 VAC --> R Lo Speed W <-- 66.7 VAC --> B R <-- 248.0 VAC --> B W <-- 106.3 VAC --> R Hi Speed W <-- 248.7...

    Hayward pump starts, but is noisy and trips breaker.

    I received the new start capacitor and installed. I get the same symptoms. Looking your notes not the relays, I was trying to figure out the leads on the relay on the motor, housed under the cover. I performed the measurements on the two Relays in use (Filter Pump and Aux 2). The terminals (1 &...

    Hayward pump starts, but is noisy and trips breaker.

    I am looking up the specifications on the relay now. I am not familiar, so don't know which terminal is 2 or 4.

    Hayward pump starts, but is noisy and trips breaker.

    I ordered a new capacitor. It is a 161-193 uf 110VAC, so I think you are correct and it's only used on the LO side. Makes me a little skeptical that this will resolve the problem, but much less than the $450 for a new motor. I don't think it could be a configuration thing, unless someone snuck...

    Hayward pump starts, but is noisy and trips breaker.

    I removed the grass and attempted to start the motor. No change... I replaced the capacitor on top.

    Hayward pump starts, but is noisy and trips breaker.

    How do I check if both winders were powered at the same time? The Controller is a rebranded Hayward, Blue Haven as Aqua Logic. I am pretty sure it is equivalent to a Hayward AquaPlus. They look just alike, but different stickers. I took the following measurements. Set to HI speed L1 <-> L2 =...

    Hayward pump starts, but is noisy and trips breaker.

    When I tried with just the HI speed wires connected (L1 & L2), it made the same noise. I shut down power before it shut down itself. It seems as though the motor is spinning, just very slowly. I then tried with just the LO speed wires connected (A & L2) and got nothing. I am thinking now, I...

    Hayward pump starts, but is noisy and trips breaker.

    I am out of light and time. I will have to work on the winding resistance measurements tomorrow. I did get the following voltage measurements (High Speed set in controller): Voltage between L1 and L2 = 247 VAC Voltage between L1 and A = 83 VAC Voltage between L2 and A = 67 VAC

    Hayward pump starts, but is noisy and trips breaker.

    It was a working system up until today. I replaced the capacitor back in September, but working fine since then. I don't know how to measure the windings. I will look for a guide online and revert. I am not sure what you mean by measuring voltage line-to-line. I measured the voltage coming off...

    Hayward pump starts, but is noisy and trips breaker.

    I am attempting to start in High. I just tried again and it is not tripping the breakers, tries to run a little longer, but stops. As I was removing the cap to test the insertion voltage to the motor, I noted that the motor housing is very hot. I cannot keep my hand on the case for more than a...

    Hayward pump starts, but is noisy and trips breaker.

    I just replaced the Capacitor with a new one and I get the same problem. It starts, runs for 5-10 seconds and trips the breaker. I should add, this is just the motor as it is not hooked up to the pump. Not sure if the no load condition could also cause the breaker to trip.

    Hayward pump starts, but is noisy and trips breaker.

    My Hayward pump (Hayward SP32202EE TriStar 2 HP Pool Pump, Dual-Speed, Energy Star Certified) is relatively new (Apr 9, 2019). I replaced the starting capacitor about 6 months ago and everything worked great. Now, the pump will start, but will soon trip the breaker. I have removed the impeller...
