Help!!
Pentair Challenger pump 2hp. Turn it on, it runs for about 30 seconds, the pressure is a little lower than normal (20psi rather than the usual 30 psi), then it shuts itself off. Breakers are all fine.
After a couple of minutes, you can hear an audible click, then the pump will turn on for another 30 seconds.
Haven't had a chance to tear it down and look for problems, any suggestions about where I should look for problems?
The pump is about 4-5 years old, and sat unused outside for several seasons. This season it was fired up for the first time in a couple of years and run really hard for the first two months.
Any help would be appreciated.
