Thanks again Peggie. Turns out the fix was simple. One of the power
leads to the solenoid was loose. Just needed a new crimp and all was well.

I just took a look at the drawing..I should have in the first place (red face here), 'cuz it's not the type of solenoid valve I thought it was...it's a water valve that opens and closes kinda like an electrically operated faucet. In installations that use onboard pressurized water, it just opens and closes to block or allow the flow of pressurized water already in the hose...but if, when a sea water pump is used instead, it starts the pump, you're prob'ly right--if the valve is stuck open, it would cause the pump to run when the breaker is on to supply power to the system. And, if that's the case, sea water mineral buildup could be the culprit. Try removing the valve (take a look inside the hose when you do...'cuz if there's buildup in the valve, there most likely will be in the hose too) and soaking in it a 12% solution of muriatic and water for 30-45 minutes--no longer may dissolve it and solve your problem. If not, a new valve is prob'ly the answer. |
