New pool owner - I went to run my Hayward Super Pump today and got a little puff of black smoke from the cable. Previous home owner spliced the power cable to either lengthen it or perhaps it was cut somehow. We've had so much rain I think the splice got wet, and now the pump won't run. Of course this happens on a Friday afternoon. Here's the problem: the water level in the pool is currently over the skimmer and we are expecting three more days of rain here in Connecticut. The water isn't as clear as I'd like it, but that's another question that I'll post with my numbers. How many days can I go without having a pump running? I have an Aquabot that is at least moving the water around. Is there anything else that I should be concerned about? Thanks
