I was wondering if anybody happens to know compatibility of the controller for my SP3400VSP.
Last night my pump quit working and started tripping the breaker. At first I reset the breaker and the pump turned on for about 3 seconds then tripped the breaker again. I disconnected the wiring going into the pump to check that first and the breaker didn't trip. After verifying the motor turns by hand freely I disconnected the motor from the control board and the breaker tripped right away leading me to believe the fault lies in the control board.
There is a lot of information regarding faulty control boards giving drive errors and tripping breakers about replacing some type of chip on the board but couldn't find anything locally so decided to shop for new controller. I found the Hayward SPX3400DR Ecostar Drive Controller that says it is for SP3400VSP pumps so I went ahead and ordered one last night.
This morning I removed the drive controller and opened it up. Inside there is a model number SP3200DR, this had me curious and trying to find out compatibility but I'm having a hard time being sure about it as the only thing I came across is some expired Ebay listings showing both model numbers. They look identical but I'm still to 100%. I'm going to try and call the supply place tomorrow or Hayward but I very well may be overlooking some simple site that has a parts breakdown with part numbers.
Thans in advance for any insight
