just took notes this morning.... the pump is 1 1/2 hp, the relay says 30 amp resistive. The controller is a new solid state. Any recommendation to replace the relay.. and if so w/ what? thanks.....
Does anyone know what I should replace a 30A pump start relay with? I have a large water pump, 220. The current relay seems to short the zone when it tries to turn on.. Aren't relays fairly reliable? I image this one to be over 10-20 years old.
you were correct solenoid. it took days to locate the value. thanks for your comments.
Zone 4 of my 6 zone system, appears to turn on for about 5 seconds, then shorts the controller. Does this sound like a value problem or short in wiring? Any ideas greatly appreciated.
I have a 2 pole 30 amp pump start relay that I believe may be causing problems. Sometimes I manually run the zones and noticed the relay churns and then shuts off the controller. Does this sound like a relay problem? After another attempt... it seems to work... If it's a relay problem what would be an approprate replacement?
