My Pool Pilot Digital suddenly stop controlling the pump today. For now, I've had to set the external timer to turn the pump on and off. I hear a click when I tried to turn the pump on and off by pushing the buttons manually and the display showing "on" or "off". Does that mean there is problem with the board?

Pool Pilot Digital cannot turn the pump on or off...
Hello. My Pool Pilot Digital is not controlling the pump. I have tried turning it on and off manually by pressing the button, but with no result. I do hear a click whenever it tries to switch on and off. Is that a board issue? For now, I am using the external timer to control the pump. Please help!

That sounds like a stuck relay to me.

It could be your motor also.
As you said you can hear it clicking, that's the sound of the relay activating.
However, as Jason said, it may be a bad relay that's clicking but not making contact, which can only be verifed by putting a multimeter on it to check voltage.
The other possibility is that your motor went bad. If the relay is sending voltage down to your pump, then it's got to be your motor that's the problem.

Thank you for your suggestions...
Tested the relay last week and found it to be the cause of the problem.
Replaced it today, and it's working perfectly.
Thanks, again!
