Hughescorp Posted May 19, 2016 Report Share Posted May 19, 2016 My filter pump keeps cutting out after about 45 minutes of running. It's not obviously overheating. When I let it rest for a couple hours it turns back on then repeats the same cycle. Any insight? I have a starite system 3 filter with an aquapure salt system. No other issues except for a leaky gasket on the filter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pool Clown Posted May 24, 2016 Report Share Posted May 24, 2016 The pump shuts off by itself, are you saying that it starts up again after a while on its own? Do you have automation on this system? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hughescorp Posted June 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2016 Yes, during the 6 hour cycle I have it set for. I run my pump for 6 hours, (switching to 8 soon), it is on a auto program set daily 8am-2pm. It was cutting out after about an hour. TheN about a hour later kicked back on. This repeats for about 3 times during the program. Update: as of 6-15 now the pump will not even fire up. My Aqua link shows the program is on, no motor on, no filtering. Help me, I'm turning green! I'm guessing it's a bad pump motor but I'm just a guy with mild to moderate common sense. The leaky filter gasket issue is resolved, I cleaned my filters and got a new gasket using some plumbers grease. Essentially no leaking. Of course with the pump not working, it is difficult to assess leakage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bugman1400 Posted June 20, 2016 Report Share Posted June 20, 2016 It could be the contactor in the automation panel that is connected to the motor. Typically you can measure 24V at the contactor on the coil side to ensure that the automation is applying voltage to the contactor. Then measure 240V on the line (source) side and nothing on the load (motor) side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
