Hello, ive been looking for a pool forum for awhile and it looks like ive found one! By the way my name is Daniel. So here my problem, i recently bought a house that has an above ground pool, its pretty big id say its 50ft. Well recently i went to back wash the filter and after switching the handle thats on top the filter, i went to turn the pump back on to begin back washing the filter. Well the pump never turned back on. It makes a somewhat loud humming noise than stops. If i leave it on it will make that noise again 10-15 seconds later. So i recently took the pump apart from the part where the second stage basket is, so i could see if there was possilbly something stuck in the propeller(impeller?), while there was some blockage (nothing major), i could still move the propeller. I have no idea what brand the pump is, all the labels on it have been bleached off by the sun. Any ideas? it was running before i turned that handle on top the sand filter to back wash it, could that be the issue? Im trying to save myself from having to by another pump. Thanks in advance, D.G
