Pump won't cut in - driving me nuts! :curse:

Check to see if you have power at the pump first - if not then it's
likely to be a faulty thermistor ( think electronic thermostat that switches pump on - only when temperature of solar heated water above a set temperature)

I thought of mains or thermostat as you say. But the only thing that confuses me is this:
Just fitted new roof sensor and cable as was getting broken circuit message code on the box. That's reading ok now - but surely I can't be unlucky to have the mains or thermostat go at the same bloody time?
or could the two be linked?

I don't believe in coincidences - is there a "reset" button somewhere?

Well would you believe, from the entire troubleshooting guide, internet information, online forums and speaking with my regular pool guy AND the bloke who actually installed the thing 2 years ago - NOTHING had the correct answer.
Then, clutching at straws last night, I decided to take the box apart and wiggle a few wires. Again - no joy, but on the circuit board I noticed a small sticker with a Melbourne telephone number of the electronics firm that build the electrics for Aquatight.
Phoned them today, and although not a general public line, a very helpful women put me through to this boffin who ran me through a specific - "hold this button for 4 seconds, turn off, turn on with this other button held for 3 seconds etc etc etc"
