Today was a warmer day, but nowhere near the temperatures down in the US. It was only 30 C or 86 F, which is nowhere near the 100 F like in Nevada/Arizona.
Anyways, I set the skimmer to suck 100% from main drain, with all lines open wide open. It seemed to be working fine, but when I came back a couple of hours later, the pump was off. It had overheated, like the times weeks ago when I vacuumed. I got it going again by placing a large fan beside it. It runs fine with the fan on, but stops every 20 mins with the fan off.
It seems that the pump is too small for the pool, so I see an upgrade coming. What do you think is the best replacement for a dura-glas 1 hp pump?
