So, I glance out at the pool this a.m. - pump's not on. Hmm...investigate...hmm....timer is stopped - in the power on position...hmm...check outside breaker - not tripped, reset. Nothing. Hmm...reset inside breaker, also not tripped...hmmm.
Flip power switch. BANG! SMOKE! Then look down:
Not quite 3 Year old 1HP Pentair SuperFlo.
Replace motor? Replace pump with Vari-Speed?
Why does this stuff always happen on the weekend? Water Chemistry is PERFECT thanks to the education I received here.
Thanks for any/all comments. Think maybe capacitor went, then forced into overload when I reset everything?
