Pool pump won’t turn off!

[Half Track]

Glad it worked out!
Now take the money you saved by not having the pool guy do it and order the 20a gfci breaker

Depending on what blower motor you have, (and anything else on that circuit) you may want/need a second standard 2 pole 20 amp breaker to put the blower motor on.
The pump draws 11.5a, the swg is 1a and the blower, depending on size is 4-6a so best case you are over 80% load on a 20a circuit and i can see there is at least 1 other items pigtailed off that breaker. My guess is someone swapped the 20 to a 30 since it was tripping

Last, while I'm spending your money , in your area it may behoove you to add a surge suppressor on the pool panel.
I have this one but there are many and it's not a whole lot more difficult to install than the relay you swapped.

Will do! I really appreciate all the help.

Wouldn’t happen to know what the best method of getting rid of these brown algae spots that formed on the bottom of the pool while my pump was broke?
