Hi all, new to the forum. I have a Compool to easytouch upgrade I had installed years ago along with a couple variable speed pumps. 1 pump controls a skimmer on one side of the pool only and the returns are the pop head cleaner throughout the pool. The other is the main filter pump. I had a leak a while back on the pop up cleaner pump and disconnected it without paying attention to the wiring. I finally got around to fixing the leak on the pump and wanted it reconnected but couldn’t figure it out and called an “expert” who proceeded to hook it up wrong and now the main filter pump and salt cell have no power after a few days of operation. The whole thing was originally hooked up so both pumps are on at the same time along with the Salt cell. I have no clue now how this works and was hoping to figure out how it was originally wired to get functioning safely again. I spent 300 bucks a week ago for an obviously terrible result. Any help would be appreciated

Welcome to TFP.
Before we even begin, this cracked wire nut is unsafe and must be replaced ASAP.
It has already burned enough to char the yellow wire nut behind it.
I don't know what hack would work on a panel and close it up with that left that way.

We cannot identify which wires go to the main pump, other pump, or SWG from the pictures.
You are on site.
If you can identify the wires, then we can probably suggest where to connect them.
You have three relays.
Nothing is wired to R1.
There are devices connected to R2 and R3. What are they?

So whatever the guy did last Friday where he tied the two sets of wires from the pumps and salt cell all together caused that wire nut to burn like that. I only realized something was wrong bc the main pump for the filter and the salt cell no longer have power but the other pump does somehow. I will try and get better pics that show which wires are coming from where. Appreciate the help. I unhooked the wires and turned the breakers off for now
