Has anyone had issues with Hayward VSP pumps not working well with any types of GCFI breakers. I have 2 customers that have Omni PL systems. The error is a comm loss from the pump tripping the breaker. The breakers have been replaced but the issue persists. I have talked with other contractors and they say VSP’s don’t like GCFI breakers but they are required by code.

Pentair PA220GF or Siemens QF220AP GFCI CBs are known to work best with VS pool pumps.

i had lot of issues with square d breakers but when changed to siemens everything has been flawless.
Homeline is the inexpensive "homeowner" line. Siemans is the best and has the least issues with VSP.
