Question: Just wanted to report back that after 2 years, zero nuisance trips with the solution I described here:Pentair VSF pool pump trips GFI (continued)I came across this previous thread (now closed for replies) and would like to continue the discussion, https://forums.mikeholt.com/threads/pentair-pool-pump-gfci-trips.136417/page-7 I am having the same problem with my Pentair IntelliFlo3 VSF pump, which is a new model just recently introduced...

That's fantastic news! It's incredibly helpful for others facing similar issues that you've had a successful, long-term solution.To make your report as beneficial as possible, could you provide a bit more detail about: What was the solution you implemented? (A summary of the key steps you took) What was the likely cause of the tripping in your situation? (What component or condition did your solution address?) Was the pump directly wired or plugged in to a GFI outlet? What size/type of GFI breaker/outlet was tripping before your solution?* Have you done any further diagnostics since implementing the solution, or any modifications since?

Sharing this additional information will greatly increase the value of your experience for others researching this problem. Flag for review
