Circupool RJ35 power issue ?

[Medic8ed]

Hi all,
I have recently installed the circupool RJ35 and it seems to be working great except for 1 issue.

its on a 120v timer , sometimes when it powers on it doesn’t seem to want to generate until I physically press the on/off switch. I have it set to come on just about an hour after the pump starts and it shuts off an hour before the pump does.

it works some days automatically, some days I have to push the on/off button- No errors … no red light.
water is well balanced and it’s a very simple pool setup.
Any thoughts or suggestions appreciated.

Mike, so it does power-on correctly right? Just doesn't go into production mode? Becasue you're not actually hitting the ON/OFF button, I wonder if it's just returning to the last time (cycle minutes) in memory where the last cycle stopped - every 180 minutes or so I think? Just a thought.

Tex has probably hit the nail. Hitting the on/off switch resets the timer to start the generating process. It works on a percentage of duty cycle.

That makes sense … I’ll keep an eye on it and see if it resumes on its own … I’ve probably looked at it at different times, hence thinking it’s an intermittent issue when it’s actually just doing it’s thing.
Thank you!
