    Control 240v pool pump

    Hi,

    I would like to control my pool pump which is 240v. Can I use the following device
    http://www.homedepot.com/p/GE-40-Amp...2726/207059394
    I searched everywhere and everybody is talking about an Intermatic control that was discontinued or using an ELK 9200 which is not rated for outdoor. My pump is inside a shed but water might enter the shed, so I would really like something rated outdoor. The manual for the GE switch says it can control 2 120v lines that power a 240v device.

    Thanks,
    Nio

        I've been using a CA3750 (from HS) for a while now to control a pool pump and booster pump. It's under a shed, but exposed to the elements somewhat. It works fine.

          Hmmmm... yes, they are. Last time I checked, the item didn't appear as available.

            How many amps is the pump motor?

              I dont recall off-hand, but it is a 1.5HP Hayward pump that is wired for 220V

                Google says a 1.5hp motor is 10 amps at 240v. I was thinking about the Qubino relay that is rated for exactly that. So there's no room for any load increase. Oh well.

                  Hi, I am using 2 intermaric CA3750 and they work.
                  You need to be aware that these units can't be very far from other z-wave devices since they have their antenna inside the plastic case.
                  I installed a z-wave repeater close by (indoors) and have had zero issues.
                  One of these is for a 120v pump and the other is controlling the heat pump 220v and no issues.

                    Did you have any issues adding the CA3750 to your network? I can't get mine to pair but it came without any instructions so I was wondering if it's someone else's return and can't be disassociated...

                      Use the HS3 remove node option before trying to include (pair) it

                        Just tried that. No change. Didn't think I could remove it from the network if it never was part of the network.

                        GE has a Z-Wave pool controller (model 12726) for twice the price that seems to have good reviews. Looks like I may end up with this model if I can't figure out how to reset the Intermatic...

                          How I paired the device

                          Hi,

                          Since these are high voltage units and typically far away from the z-net, I used a "extension" cord to power the unit with 120v and take it next to the z-net, then pair the device and then installed the unit in its final location. With 240v.

                          The manual can be found here
                          http://waterheatertimer.org/pdf/Inte...750-Manual.pdf

                          I learned how to connect the wires by looking at pictures see here
                          http://waterheatertimer.org/images/H...ic-CA3750.html

                          Hope it helps,
                          Chris

                            So that's a possibility

                            The controller is wirelsss so perhaps I'll bring it down to the timer and see if it will pair just feet away.

                            Then assuming that works perhaps it will remain on the network for commands.

                              Moving the HS controller right next to the CA3750 did the trick. Once paired to the network it talked to a number of nearby nodes so I was able to move the controller back to it's usual spot.
