At the end of last year, our pump died and we replaced the motor with the same 1.5hp Hayward Superpump this weekend. Things seemed to be set up just fine and the pump kicked on no problem.
I am opening the pool, so the water is really dirty. I first vacuumed to waste and ran the pump for awhile. It ran fine, sounded normal, then shut off after about 30-mins or so. I turned it back on, and it continues to shut off after about 20-minutes. The breaker never trips, the pump just turns off. I've tried backwashing and recirculating the water a couple of times. There are no bubbles in the pump basket and the pressure gage seems fine (although I rarely see big changes in my pressure gage).
Any suggestions on things I could check before calling the pool guy to come check it out?
