Hello Everyone! I'm in Atlanta GA with a vinyl pool. We were vacuuming, and getting it ready tonight, but it had a fair amount of pollen, tree bits, and leaves in it. (And some sweetgum tree balls) I had my basket in the whole time, as well as the pump basket.
All of a sudden, the pump got really quiet, and no water was flowing. It wasn't sucking, pressure was 0, no water was moving in the glass before the filter, or before the pump. BUT, I could still hear the motor running. It was like a blade wasn't spinning. I quickly shut it off.
Attached is a picture of my pump. Can I open that band around the front of it, and see if something is stuck, or is my only option to call a pool repair person. Of course, this was after I poured in bleach to shock the pool.
Any advice appreciated, this is only my second year with a pool.
Thanks
Pam
