Pump less than a year old. It trips GFI's. I use plural because I have replaced the GFI and have plugged it into a different GFI circuit. If I plug it into a non GFI protected circuit, it runs fine. If I leave it on for an hour or so and then plug it into a GFI circuit, it does not trip the GFI and runs for days.
We are on the sound and we've had a lot of rain. Maybe running it non protected drys it out until the next down pour? I know the correct answer is GFI protection but is there any harm running it unprotected until the monsoons stop since I'm the only person that goes anywhere near the pump? This is an above ground and the pump is only connected to the pool by the rubber/plastic hoses. You can't reach the pool from the pump.
Suggestions? Thanks in advance. Steve
