I replaced fuses, both in my disconnect and one in the controller board, then I spied this little $170 object fried. The contactor and pump are good, the 24 volt DC supply board works on manual but not automatic. I wanted to send the board out for repair and keep it as a spare, the manufacturer said it is non repairable. Looks to be a Diode, but I am no electrician so I thought I would throw it up to experts.








Voltage regulator.......

I'm thinking a 400GPM pump won't fit in the back of a pickup truck

So while you're waiting for warmer weather, get the numbers off the component that's blown up on the bad board so you can source it.

If you get a photo of it, maybe we can better help.

The pump isn't light but not as big as one would think.

So the wife and I officially moved into our new house yesterday. This was the view out the bedroom window this morning.

And before anybody asks, I went to work this morning. I am not on the lake!
