Electrical equipment issue

[jdw-tx]

I'm in TX and have an 18yr old Blue Haven pool with indoor/outdoor remotes. The outdoor circuit board blew and I installed just a regular timer until I could get everything working again. I'm having an issue finding a pool person that can handle this type of job. Seems that most do maintenance/motors.

Any suggestions on who can handle a job like this? Also for those that had indoor boards that malfunctioned did you replace them or just put in a standard timer and switches? New remote units seem to be very expensive.

Thanks for any help.

John, I wish I could help but that's beyond my ken. Hopefully, some of our other members have some knowledge of this. BTW, I run my pool on regular indoor mechanical timer and have for 11 years so far.

Thanks, hopefully someone will know who I need to hire. With my remotes gone I can't work anything other than the pool motor since lights, valves, blower, etc were all tied into the remote. I've seen some cheaper wireless remotes that may work with my system but I'm not sure.

Do you have your lights, blower, etc switches inside or at the equipment? I don't mind the mechanical timer at all. Even when working the remote acted up and turned the pool on and off to the point I had to disable it so I don't miss it but I need to be able to work all the other devices.

My pump and SWCG are plugged into 220v twist-lock outlets at the pool, with a cutoff switch right there. The timer (for both) is in the basement. The 2 spd switch is on the back of the pump.

Thanks, I spoke with them a while back. They really don't like doing repairs on older pools, quoted me $3500 for a new smart system. :D

In that case, you might need to find the board and install it yourself. If you're comfortable doing a little electrical work, that is.

Disconnect it from the power source, open the box and examine the panel circuit board. You will probably find a part number printed onto the circuit board its-self. Then you can search the internet or call them and ask about parts. Replacing a circuit board is usually very simple, just take pictures before you disconnect wires, and put the replacement in where the original was.

If you can take a picture of the board, and post it, we may be able to help you id it.
