Ok, I backwashed a spa yesterday, but I forgot to release the air in the filter while I was doing it. Backwashed for 4 mins, rinse for 1, turned to filter, added DE, ran the filter for 2 hours fine. Never released air in the filter. Today, during the scheduled filter time, I noticed the pump was not on but was in fact very hot to the touch. The pump will not turn on... I tried turning offf and on the circuit breaker really hoping that was it, but no.
Did I screw it up by not releasing air on the filter? Is the pump salvageable? If so, what can I do? Unfortunately, having a whole bunch of family coming tomorrow evening for Christmas, and now my spa won't work...
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
