Hello,
I am having a strange problem and I am hoping I can get some advice.
pool is only 4 years okd. Pool equipment is running through Hayward OmniLogic and the pumps have their own 20amp breakers, one for each.
Every morning the pool pump kicks on, I can hear the relay click. The filter pump doesn't start, there is a hum, and then the breaker trips (I can watch the breaker trip each morning). In Omnilogic, the program still shows the pump running but then the flowsensor error appears because in reality the pump never started. I can turn the pump off in the software, walk over to the breaker and reset it, then start the pump again in Omnilogic and it works flawlessly, until it has to start again the next morning. What could cause this? ( no water is leaking back into the pool when the pump is off)
Here is what I tried:
Thoughts:
I am stumped and would love some insight.
Thank you,
CF

Here is what I tried:
- Switching the 20amp breaker for a known working one - no change in condition.
- Checking all the wires in the Omnilogic service box.
Thoughts:
- I don't think it can be a bad relay since it will immediately start up after I reset the breaker.
- I don't think it can be a bad pump since the pump runs correctly the second time I try to start it via Omnilogic, after resetting the breaker
I am stumped and would love some insight.
Thank you,
