Intelliflo VSF and Easytouch odd behavior

[GmoneyG]

Hello,

I have run into some strange behavior with my ET and pump that I haven't been able to solve.

I run 2 schedules, the second one is to ensure my heat pump doesn't turn on during the night (my electricity isn't time of use)

POOL - 45 GPM 12 hrs (VSF)
AUX 3 - 24 GPM 12 hrs (VSF)

The POOL schedule runs fine and the ET says "AUTO". Pump status I believe said normal. Pump display reads display not active.

The AUX schedule will not run, even though the ET will clearly light up and switch to AUX 3. The pump completely shuts off - no flow, no display. The pump light on the ET does NOT turn on and when I check the pump status on ET it says "NO COMM".
Both schedules ran fine until about 4 days ago and the evening one mysteriously stopped working.

I ran the ET self test and it failed with code "14".

I've already shut off the breaker, re-energized and reset multiple times to no avail. Any ideas?

Thank you

Is your pump wired to continuous power?

When filter pump is OFF and AUX3 is ON what shows on the pump display?

The pump has 24/7 power if that is what you are referring to.

Display says auto, Ambient temp and time.

Show me the IntelliFlo pump display, not the EasyTouch display, when AUX3 is on.

Sorry pump display is blank. No power

That is your problem.

The pump is wired to the LOAD side of the filter pump relay.

It should be connected to the LINE side of the filter pump relay.

I manually clicked the filter pump button on my ET and the pump is running at the POOL GPM, status normal, even though the ET has AUX 3 showing.

Here is pump display with AUX 3 when I don't manually start the pump as mentioned above.

Your IntelliFlo pump does not have continuous power 24/7.

Is this an easy DIY fix or should I have my electrician swing by? Hopefully covered under warranty

It is just moving the two pump power wires over one screw.
