Hi everyone,
This is my first post here and I want to say that I have followed TFP since the day I moved into my house about a year ago. Thanks to you guys, my pool has not been green since then.
My 2 speed pump was running on a timer starting in the morning on high for about an hour, then low, then on high from 6-8pm, then on low until the cycle repeated in the morning. Lately, the pool only runs on low continuously and works well. The problem is when I switch it to high where it only runs for about ten minutes and then it shuts off. As soon as I flip the switch to the low speed, the pool pump works well, but as soon as I switch it back to high, the high speed doesn't work. If I were to wait about 15 minutes, then the high speed works again for a few more minutes but then the same problem reoccurs. I have read some posts where it may be a faulty temperature switch or perhaps the bearings are bad. I don't know when the pump was installed or how old it is.
In any event, I am not so handy when it comes to taking apart electric motors and repairing them, so if someone can recommend a trusted pool pump tech or store in Miami that can help me out, I would appreciate it.
Thanks in advance!
