Did my main and booster pump just fail on me?
First post, be gentle. I was vacuuming the pool this morning and the pump started getting louder than it normally is. I assumed that I may have gotten something past the skimmer and into the impellers. So before sticking my hands in the impeller, I turned off the pumps (booster and main since the pressure side cleaner was running as well). I then cut power to the system so that I could clean in the impeller. After doing so, I fired back up the electrical and neither pump would work. I've check all my breakers, pre and post timer, using a multimeter and there is power all the way to both pumps but neither of them will start. They make zero noise, but just to be certain I checked the capacitor as well and that seemed to be fine. Am I missing something incredibly simple or did I do something wrong to make this happen? I'm so lost. This is an inground pool with a hayward 1 hp pump assembly and booster pump.
