New Pump won't prime

[elainerader]

Can you tell us the name of the "no name" pump, so we as a group know to stay away from it. I just had my two year old "no name" pump burn up, and it is a Splashpool pump. No parts, no info on it anywhere. I found one just like it on ebay for $149.00. My pool builder is reluctantly putting in a Jandy Flopro tomorrow.

Good point!! We bought ours on Amazon: Here is the link to the crummy pump: Amazon.com : 2HP Ingound Pool Pump 220/110 Dual Volt 1 Phase : Garden Outdoor

This is the expensive Hayward we bought in replacement, runs quiet and runs great...just wish we had spent a little more $$ and purchased the two speed because we run the filter a lot...but this one is fine and dandy! https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00198CW7G/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

e,

Did you get your money back on the crummy pump? seems like many folks that bought this pump that had problems were not getting responses back from the seller...Hope you did - Happy Easter !!
