Welcome to TFP.
Have you tested the voltage when the pump is turned on at the pool outlet? There are some problems that can read full voltage when the pump is off (or close enough), but the voltage drops way down when the motor is turned on.
Another question, did it ever work? If not, can you get the person who installed the outlet to look into what they did wrong?

Thank you for your reply jl. The outlet is 125 feet from the house. I did a voltage drop calc. On an electrician page online. The drop is normal. The voltage doesn't change when pump is plugged in. I think I am going to have to try a boost transformer. My shop vac ran really slow at that outlet also. Good site, father in law gave us an 18' agp he tore down. Needed liner. Pool is up and filled. Took two weeks of research and work but it looks great. Neighbor with bobcat helped us move a lot of dirt and took the topsoil in trade. Thanks for the site
