i have the Intex 2500-Gallon Filter Pump and its 2 years old now and it seems like the cords end has finally messed up, the test and reset part, no matter what i do or how many times i push reset it doesnt start my pump, sometimes i can fiddle with the reset button and itll start for a bit but then shut off again, so can i replace this part?
can i change out my pumps power cord?

You probably can, but that's no guarantee that will fix the problem. It's possible that the GFCI button is tripping (popping-out) because something is wrong in the motor itself. If you can replace the cord first and it works great, that should be relatively cheaper. I just wanted to throw that out there for consideration.
does home depot sell gfci ends like that? i just looked and they do...... is it hard to open that pump up?

I'll do some digging on-line. Not sure HD would have that exact item. In the meantime, you might want to call "Inyopools.com". They might have a replacement for you as well.
HD sells both plugs and exterior multi-wire cord by the foot. Buy the correct amperage/type plug and gauge cord, and make your own.
thank you guys, i thought maybe ill just cut the cord at the gfci and put a new one one it, i think that sounds simple
