Frequently Asked Questions

Common relay types used in pool and spa systems include:

  • Mechanical relays – used in timers and basic on/off controls.
  • Solid-state relays (SSR) – offer faster switching and longer lifespan, ideal for automation systems.
  • Magnetic contactors – handle higher current loads, such as pool pumps and heaters.
  • DPST or DPDT relays (Double Pole) – used when controlling two circuits simultaneously.

You might have a failing relay or contactor if you notice:

  • The pump or heater fails to turn on or off even when the control system sends a signal.
  • Chattering or clicking sounds inside the control box.
  • Burn marks or pitting on contact terminals.
  • Inconsistent operation of automated lights or equipment.

A simple test with a multimeter can confirm if the coil is energized or if contacts are stuck.

Yes - if you’re comfortable working with pool electrical systems.
Before replacing:

  • Turn off power at the breaker.
  • Note the wiring connections or take a photo for reference.
  • Ensure the replacement part has the same voltage, amperage, and configuration (e.g., SPST, DPST).

If the relay is part of an automation panel (like Hayward OmniLogic or Pentair EasyTouch), use manufacturer-approved parts to ensure proper communication and safety.

  • A relay is typically used for low-current applications (lights, control signals, automation circuits).
  • A contactor is a heavy-duty switch that handles high-current loads like pumps, blowers, and heaters.

Both perform the same function - controlling a circuit - but contactors are designed for more frequent or higher-power switching.

To select the correct contactor:

  1. Check your equipment voltage (120V, 240V, or 277V).
  2. Verify the amperage load of the device (pump, blower, etc.).
  3. Match the coil voltage of the contactor to your control circuit (commonly 24V or 120V).
  4. Ensure it fits within your automation or electrical box.

When in doubt, replace like-for-like with the same part number or consult your pool control manual.

Typically, 5 to 10 years, depending on usage, environment, and load cycles.
Frequent on/off cycling, moisture exposure, or undersized components can shorten lifespan.
Regularly check for corrosion, pitted contacts, or heat damage — signs that replacement is due.

Yes - they’re essential components in modern pool automation panels.

They allow electronic controllers (like Hayward OmniLogic, Jandy AquaLink, or Pentair IntelliCenter) to switch pumps, heaters, or lights automatically.

Always ensure you use manufacturer-compatible or UL-rated replacements for automated setups.
