Thats correct - when I had the 2607 impeller on, the motor was pulling about 14.5 amps. I did not let it run very long since it wasn't pulling enough water to fill the reservoir. I have actually put the 2610 impeller back on because the 2607 would not draw enough water to prime the pump. Huge...

Yes, when everything is put together the impeller spins freely. The breaker that was tripping is a 20A GFCI breaker. That is on the 220 circuit. I am now running the pump on a 110 circuit, a GFCI outlet. That circuit has never tripped. Therefore I have concluded that I have a problem in...

I did have the 2610 impeller. I swapped it out with the 2607. Result was that it would not prime , even with the reservoir nearly full at startup. I had no suction at the far slimmer basket. So it would not create enough flow. Additionally it only dropped the amperage on the motor to 14.5...

Thanks much! The total hp is 1.1. Hp is 1.1 and sf is 1.0. It may be a while till I can take it apart to get the impeller PN but I’ll do that for sure.

When i replaced the motor initially last year, I replaced it with the same total hp as the old motor that stopped working. I do not know what the pump model or impeller part number is. They are the same as when I bought the house - have not been changed. This morning, I swapped out my 110V...

Roger that. Will get that in place right away. This all makes sense. At 115 v the current draw will most likely come below the rated level - confirms that there is an issue in the wiring of my 220 circuit. I just have to isolate and fix that. Thanks to everyone - you have all been very...

Not sure the gage of wire but could only be 16 ga

Voltage at the outlet is 120 so I’m good there. The extension cord is 100 ft and is a 15amp rated cord so probably undersized for the amount of power the pump is drawing.

I can’t really check that now since I’m temporarily using an extension cord to power the pump - not going through a switch or timer

JamesW - I may have replied at the wrong place on the thread. Voltage is 107.

From what JamesW said that’s low. What would cause that? This is a brand new motor by the way.

Voltage is 107

I haven’t checked the voltage. Will do that.

James - thanks! So I believe there is a wire problem in the normal 220 circuit the pump is on. So now I have it running on 110 using an extension cord plugged into a GFCI protected outlet. The motor is correctly wired for 110 - moved the plug to the 110 spot and verified neutral and hot are on...

Basics - 28,000 gal in-ground pool. 1 HP motor rated at 6.6A at 220V and 13.6 A at 110V. Built in 1989. Owned house last 5 years. Problem - after I had the pool opened two weeks ago, everything ran fine. 2 days later had problem with circuit breaker blowing. I've isolated that problem to...
