Lightening recently struck my house and took out my irrigation controller. To my surprise my pool pump and controller also was found to not be working. I have a Jandy Stealth JEP 1.5 which uses a Zodiac JEP-R control head mounted on the wall. I first thought the controller on the wall had the circuit board blown. I was able to get a new one (for test purposes) and plugged it in but no go. Here is what I have found. I am getting 248 volts to the pump. I am getting I think it was 22 volts from the 4 pin socket on the pump. If I test the 4 pin socket on the wall I get the same volts as from the socket at the pump. All seems good until I try to plug the controller in. When i do that I loose the voltage at the pump. I was told it might be the circuit board on the speed drive assembly that is bad. My questions are: 1) is this a good assumption? 2) can I replace just the circuit board on the speed drive? 3) can I just replace the speed drive unit as a whole?

I have been checking on the Internet and I have been unable to find just the speed drive itself. I did see one on Ebay and that is a R0474900 which is for a 2.0 Hp motor P{Would that work on a 1.5 HP motor?}. That was selling for $675. Other than that the only thing I see is a R0562202 which is the speed drive and a motor sold as one unit for $889.45.

Can anyone enlighten me on what the problem might be and how I can find parts to fix it that aren't going to cost me an arm and a leg. This lightening strike took out a few other things that has already set me back almost $1,000. (and no my insurance deductible is too high to pay for anything).

Any help would be greatly appreciated.:confused::confused:
