Hi Everyone!
The breaker for my pool pump has been tripping. The pool was built in July 2019. I live in the northeast and the pool ran from July-Early October before closing and had no issues. Starting this July the breaker for the main pump was tripping. The pool company came out and they said it was a loose wire on the Polaris pump and tighten it up. Issue went away and then started again in a few weeks. Just after labor day my heater (heat pump) stopped working.
Yesterday Pentair came out and replaced the capacitor on the heat pump and everything was back up and running. Now the filter has been running since Labor day up until yesterday and never tripped. Yesterday when the heater was on for about 3 hours the pool pump breaker tripped. It tripped twice yesterday and once this morning. The heater is on different breaker. I had the electrician out and the pool company and they are unable to identify the problem. Any suggestions?
The two pictures below are the control box. The two 20 pole breaker is the ones that keeps tripping. That breaker runs a pentair Whisperflo 1 hp pump, Pentair Saltwater Cell, and the Polaris pump. The breaker on the right is the heat pump by itself. Something is odd that now the heat pump is back up running the main pump breaker is tripping again.
