Hey All,
Just returned home from a business trip where the wife was in charge in my absence. Set the pool up with the Kreepy Krawly ready for action to be self sufficient while I was away. Temperature hit 86* here in New York so the kids and all their friends splashed around for most of the afternoon. I got home and the pump wasn't running. Circuit breakers had tripped and will not stay set. Pretty sure the pump is frozen and needs to be replaced. It's an old unit and whenever it started it would briefly hesitate, hum and then turn on.
It being Sunday, I'm S.O.L. to get any tech help but I do have a booster pump still inline for a Polaris setup that the former home owner used. Should I run that pump just to circulate the water and get some chlorine in there? It's still hot here and all the kid action today has made the water a tad cloudy now.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
