Hi,
I have an im-ground fibreglass pool (with in-floor cleaning) that has just been refurbished (restored a leak). We are landscaping around pool at moment and recently returned home to see that 'no flow switch' on pool has come on salt chlorinator, and pump had automatically stopped. There was still water in the pump. The skimmer box was fairly clogged with soil and in-floor drain probably had a fair bit of soil in it, so cleared the basket, did a backwash and everything returned to normal. I've since noticed some small white plastic pieces in pool skimmer basket and floating on top of pool. Looks like melted plastic - most are really small (5mm x 2mm) with no straight edges. A couple of pieces have a straight edge which suggests they may have been a part of something. I'm wondering if the pump has overheated and a component has melted? Interestingly the pump is still running fine and can't hear any strange noises.
Has anyone experienced something like this?
