A method and apparatus for a pump control system. One or more embodiments of the invention include a pump controller that can perform a self-calibrating procedure, can provide precise motor speed control, can provide a limp mode before shutting down the motor when system parameters are exceeded and/or fault conditions occur, can detect fault conditions, and can store fault conditions for later retrieval.

I claim: 1. A method of monitoring fault conditions occurring in a water distribution system, the water distribution system including a motor and at least one of a pool and a spa, the method comprising:sensing a new fault condition occurring in at least one of the motor, the pool, and the spa;generating a fault condition code and incrementing a counter;determining whether the counter has been incremented above an increment limit;storing the new fault condition code over one of a plurality of old fault condition codes if the counter has been incremented above an increment limit;storing the new fault condition code in a new memory location if the counter has not been incremented above an increment limit;retrieving the new fault condition code and the plurality of old fault condition codes; andindicating to a user that a total number of fault condition codes including the new fault condition code and the plurality of old fault condition codes has exceeded the increment limit within a set time period.
