I finally convinced the company that installed it to send someone out. He's supposed to come out this afternoon so we'll see how it goes. When I find something out I'll...

    Re: Pool pump not working, breaker won't switch to on positi I forgot to put that the Hayward is a Max Flo XL. Not sure if that makes a difference.

    Pool pump not working, breaker won't switch to on position.

    Re: Pool pump not working, breaker won't switch to on positi The pump is a Hayward SP2305x7 3/4 hp 115/230V. I think it's GFCI. There's a yellow button on the breaker box that says test. We tried pressing it but nothing happens. No pop or anything. Hopefully I pressed it hard enough. Could...

    Hi there. My pool was installed about 6 months along with all of the equipment and electrical that goes with it. Last weekend we noticed the pump wasn't running when it should have been. My husband checked the breaker next to the pool equipment and it was tripped. He made sure everything was...
