Amazon.com: Pentair 471360 Dual Voltage Transformer With Circuit Breaker Replacement for Pool And Spa Heaters: Patio, Lawn Garden[/URL]

Looks like my transformer went out, I ordered this part...is there anything else I need to install this new transformer?

Just an update for anyone interested in trying to replace your Pentair transformer with the one I mentioned above. I rewired with just the orange and black wires for 240V and it works fine. Voltage was exactly the same as the Pentair transformer. Both were at 26.7V. I have also blown my DDTC board but this transformer works when you know how to wire it. I hope someone else benefits from my trial and error and saves some money. Regards,

Kill the power to the unit.

Screwdriver and wire nuts.
