Just hooked up my new superflo. It worked great for 1 day, then today it made it through he prime cycle then turned off with an A1 error. I've tried everything I can think of to clear it, but the pump doesn't respond.

Hi Mike,
I don't see an A1 Error Code for the SuperFlo but I do see a 1A Error Code which means "over current". Here are the instructions from Pentair on the 1A error code...
1A Error Code Power Module over current detected: If this error displays multiple times, then there may be a problem
with the pump’s rotating assembly. Please disassemble the pump and investigate to see if there is a problem with
the impeller or mechanical seal. See page 14 “Pump Disassembly” for instructions for disassembling the pump.
Pump Disassembly
All moving parts are located in the rear sub-assembly
of this pump.
Tools required:
• 1/4 inch socket or open end wrench.
• 3/8 inch socket or open end wrench.
• 9/16 inch open end wrench.
• 1/4 inch Allen Key
• Flat blade screwdriver.
To remove and repair the motor subassembly, follow the
steps below:
1. Press the Start/Stop button to stop the pump and
turn off the pump circuit breaker at the main panel.
2. Drain the pump by removing the drain plugs.
3. Remove the 4 bolts that hold the main pump body
(strainer pot/volute) to the rear sub-assembly.
4. GENTLY pull the two pump halves apart, removing
the rear sub-assembly.
5. Remove the three hex head screws holding the
diffuser in position.
6. Hold the impeller securely in place and remove the
impeller lock screw by using a flat blade screwdriver
or wrench. The screw is a left-handed thread and
loosens in a clockwise direction.
7. To unscrew the impeller from the shaft, insert a 1/4
inch Allen key into the center of the motor fan cover
and twist the impeller counter-clockwise.
8. Remove the four bolts from the seal plate to the
motor using a 9/16 inch wrench.
9. Place the seal plate face down on a flat surface
and tap out the ceramic seal.
10. Clean the seal plate, seal housing, and the motor
shaft.
