Pentair Ultratemp HC Issues ?

[iain42]

I had some electric issues after a storm. I got the pump going. Lost my Intellichlor and they are out of stock most places but I have tabs and liquid chlorine till I can get one.

The Ultratemp chiller is my favorite item during 100+ degrees but it is not working either. It runs but compressor doesn't kick on and then the fan gets hot and stops turning. I ordered a capacitor just in case as it is an easy fix.

I think what I need is someone to look at the electrical setup, bonding, and grounding to insure everything is correct. The problem is getting a technician in this area is near impossible. Can a regular HVAC guy diagnose my Ultratemp?

Any advice appreciated.

That's actually the guy you prefer. The electricians only go so far until it becomes a plumbers problem. And the plumbers only go so far until it becomes an electricians problem. *if* either isn't afraid of it in the first place. The HVAC guy works on central AC units that are very similar and can handle it soup nuts from plumbing to electric to electronics.

2nd choice is to find a pool store that has a service department that works on equipment.

Thanks I at least have a support contract for my home AC I bet they would be happy to add one for my pools HVAC. I see hope of support there.

As for pool technicians.... Little Rock is tough right now. I get a lot of we can't handle any more new clients.

Thanks!

I pulled the capacitor and it was a bit swollen. Put the new one in and the fan started then 5 minutes later the compressor. It is hot today so I’ll let it run to see if it works.
