Intelliflo VF3050

15 years ago
I recently purchased a Pentair VF3050 pool pump. My plan was to have a pump that could run 24/7 but would run through the filter for a portion of the day. I need the 24/7 operation as this is an indoor pool with a Dectron/Dryotron system. My pool guy installed a bypass circuit with Jandy valve and Pentair actuator. Since the VF3050 does not output any control signals (sadly) he installed a pressure switch in the line to the filter downstream of the valve. By changing the flow/speed of the pump, we have been able to get the pressure switch to turn the actuator/valve to redirect the flow to the bypass circuit and vica versa.
Problem: In setting up we have encountered GFCI breaker trips. The problem is intermittent in that rewiring configurations result in fault free operation. When the pool guy cleaned things up the fault returned. We replaced the breaker and wiriing. There is a transformer attached to the line for the pressure switch and actuator.
Has anyone seen any problems with GFCI faults?
