My Jandy VS FLoPro pump is not starting automatically when the power is on and the scheduled cycle should start. The issue started yesterday when I cut the breaker switch to clean the pump basket. When I started it back up I think heard a switch in my iAqualink try to activate it. I could tell the power was back as my salt cell was on and was reporting no flow. I had to turn the power on and off multiple times and it eventually kicked the pump on.

Now this morning it was supposed to start at 8 AM but did not. I went outside and again the salt cell showed the system was on and when I turned the breaker on and off the pump started

I'm trying to determine cause, especially before we start to get some freezes in Texas. Thanks for your help.
 
Is your VS pump on the load side of the filter relay? Ideally it would be connected directly to the breaker or line side of the relay. It would then be controlled by the Aqualink using a RS-485 communication cable to change speeds. Your SWCG should however be connected to the filter relay. BTW when cleaning the pump basket you can also put the Aqualink into service mode instead of turning off the breaker.
