I hear the relay "click", but filter pump will not turn on

i have an EasyTouch and a Pentair VSF pump, that stopped working one day. I checked the Capacitor and it was good. So I checked the panel again. With the Pump (1) press on/green, the VSF comes on witht he panel on top of it. The Pool cleaner (2) works as long as (1) is green, so does the Water Falls (3). So I changed out the relay - G7L-2A-BUBJ-CB-DC24, thinking problem would be sovlved...Same exact issue persists. Nothing has come lose, everything is exactly like it was before the problem. Can someone help? Thanks!

Randy,

When you have a Pentair VSF pump, it should get constant AC power.. The relay should not turn the pump on or off...

The pump should be controlled by the RS-485 com port inside your EasyTouch..

Is there a small cable plugged into the control head on the pump that runs back to the EasyTouch??

Show us a a pic of the display play on the EasyTouch when you think the pump should be running.. Also, look at the pump's display and tell us what it shows...

Are you sure you have a VSF pump.. I ask, because they have no start capacitor, so not sure what you looked at???

Thanks,

Jim R.
