    Default Re: Pentair Dynamo. Any idea where the contacts are?

    Don't know anything about that pump/motor. Is there anything on the web like assembly diagrams? Usually the contacts are behind the rear cover, the end opposite the pump, where the power cord enters. I also don't know if there are two separate sets of contacts for a two speed. You're right in assuming that by smacking the thing and it starts is the sign of crummy contacts, OR a loose connection somewhere. Wish I could be more help. If you could post the specific model number that may help.

    Hi. I thought that is where they were as well. It may be in the switch itself which is a possibility. Either way, I have contacted Pentair and will wait and see what they have to say. Not a huge issue since I run in low speed most of the time, but I would like to know that it will start in high speed if needed.

    Thanks
