Busy night. Yes, yes, and yes. Thanks for all your help and suggestions. It's purring like a kitten. And just on time, I'm planning to open the pool tomorrow.

Ok, after searching around, I found this page — How To Wire A Pool Pump - INYOPools.com Based on the image below, I believe the old Hayward was setup for 115v, because the black plug was attached to both 4 and 5 (see image). Before I found this page, as I looked at the wiring, I reasoned that...

Ok, now I feel like a real idiot. Look what I found inside the cap. Thanks for the help, guys. Although, I will say, having never done this before and with electricity not being my strong suit, I might have to come back with a close up of the old Hayward motor. At first glance, I couldn't tell...

Yes, I probably should have spent the extra money and gotten a Hayward motor. All the mechanical stuff came apart and went back together like a breeze. But now it's time to wire it up, and when I remove the cover for the new motor, there is nothing I can discern that allows me to select between...

In-ground saltwater pool was rocking-and-rolling, clear as a bell, numbers looking good. Then we had a pool party with 40+ folks after which pool looked cloudy, flow light on the chlorinator went red, AND, the pump motor starting intermittent squealing in a way that was very reminiscent of when...

Well — it took some doing, but I was able to find a vendor with the surge board in stock who also didn't want an arm and leg for it. I installed it earlier this afternoon, and . . . hallelujah! The IC40 came back to life. Now, to get the salt level straightened out and probably clean the DE...

Thanks for the quick reply. I'll order a new card and report back with an update.

Update: after my own highly amateur multi-metering was inconclusive, I remembered I have a neighbor a few doors down who is an electrician. He came and checked things out. There is definitely 120VAC going into the step-down transformer, and ~30VAC coming out of it. But when he tests the...

UPDATE: I got a multimeter. Still not certain about what I'm doing here. I was unable to get the probes into the box itself. It's very tight, and very dark, and my vision is not what it used to be. So what I did instead was tried to determine where the red and black wires were terminated in the...

Thanks for the response! I do not own a multimeter. When ever someone says "multimeter" I begin to feel out of my depth as I have zero experience in that area. I did see several videos on YouTube about testing the voltage step-down regulator, etc., but everyone had a different power center than...

Been a pool owner since 2019. The pool is fairly old, and I think the previous homeowners knew everything was about to die (not just the pool) and decided to sell. At opening 2020, IC40 worked fine at first, but then died (no lights). After some research, I determined it was probably beyond...
