Pentair Superflo VS stopped working

[rootcd]

My Pentair Superflo VS stopped working after three years of use. The display and lights still work. I'm getting an error code of 00F, which it seems means that it isn't getting at least 99v of power. I've put a multimeter on it and the L1 is getting 120v, which is what is wired to the pump. Breaker is 120v. Only other connection point is at 120v.

What else could be the issue? Hoping to not have to buy another pump.

A poster below said that cutting the power at the breaker several times caused it to work again. Maybe turn it off for 15 mins to allow it to reset.

Pentair pump error code 000F...HELP

Pool was installed less than a year ago, pentair superflo vsp. It was working great until this afternoon when the breaker keeps tripping and I'm getting error 000F on the pump. Pentair has been no help and the installer has ghosted me.

Another option would be to try running it off another CB to see if your current one has issues.

My breaker never tripped. I'm getting 120 at the breaker and 120 at the pump.

What is the power if you test between the two connections in the pump?

Remember, I'm only running 120 not 240. L1(black wire) = 120, L2 (white wire) = 0. And I have had this pump for 3years. No issues.

When you test between L1 and L2 with the breaker on (there should be constant power to the pump) you should see 120v. If not, test black to ground. If you have 120v there but not at L2 white you've lost the neutral.

with power to pump I have L1(black) to ground = 120v. L2(white) to ground = 0. does this mean the neutral wire is bad? Or the connection is bad?

 

[1poolman1]

Neutral to ground is always 0. What is black to white? If 0, lost neutral.

black to white is 120. And I hear the pump or motherboard click every 30 seconds or so.

Instead of buying a complete new pump, another option is to just replace the drive/motor.

I know this is an old thread but I have the exact same problem you were having. I was wondering how you fixed your problem.
