I have a Pentair pool system and it seems, all the circuit breakers are slowly dying on the main control box. I have a question about replacement breakers. Looks like the original pool builder equipped these with the pentair branded 2-pole 20v circuit breakers with ground fault protection. Those have a 'test' button on each breaker.
All the breakers replaced by pool guys seem to be some type of generic breaker, with no test button. If I'm looking to no longer pay the extra $'s to a pool guy, my question is -- should I be going generic as well? Do I need a test button?
Occasionally, but not often, my pool doesn't turn on - and what I find is I just need to turn off and back on that breaker. It appears to be slowly failing/tripping.
Is this breaker fine? It looks like the one that some of the pool guys are using vs. the manufacturer one.
THANKS!
