I recently had a new timer installed as my old was faulty and could only be used manually. This was installed a few days ago and set to the times I wanted. Obviously pump comes on then a few hours later the sweep does.
issue is that the sweep doesn’t turn on when it should and when the pump is on (pump works fine). The sweep motor is silent when on alongside the pump.
I tested to see what happened when I turned the pump off but kept the sweep on(I know it won’t work as needs pressure from pump) but turning the pump of manually actually started the sweep motor and it mess making a noise. Obviously with the pump off it doesn’t actually move or clean, but something was on. I flick the pump back on and the sweep goes silent again.
Is this an electrical issue or something else? And can I fix this myself as I shocked my pool to open and have a clear pool with a ton of debris on the floor I can’t get rid off!
Thanks
