    I have a problem with the pump. When I run a cycle, or hand water, it faults out after 5 minutes. Before the heads transition. I can water at 3 min intervals in manual mode with 1 to 2 min in between stations and it works fine. If the pump stays running for more than 4 min and 56 sec it will fault out. I turned the pump off on the flowtronex (model # FBSLF7BF25A23F3BDE) and it still faulted at the same time.

    Has anyone had this issue? Fuses?

    Thanks in advance.

    Victor,

    What kind of fault are you getting?

    If the cooling fan for the VFD goes bad it will do that. A Power Cat Fan with the directional attachment will fit nicely over the intake and solve the problem temporarily. http://www.grainger.com/product/POWER-CAT-Portable-Blower-Fan-4C926?functionCode=P2IDP2PCP

    Do you know if it is the pump or the soft starter?

    Def. sounds like a temperature issue. can you try putting a shop fan or two facing the motor to see if the time changes for the fault?
