ellry99,

I don't think I would be helping you to just throw more possibilites your way. There are a number of pool equipment experts on this forum that will be able to guide your diagnosis based on their experience....

If you can figure out how to send a PM to waste, mas985, poconos or pool clown -- I'm sure there are others, too -- you'll be in more competent hands and may get this thing figured out sooner rather than later.

good luck!
