Booster pump start capacitor

[jojoman]

Came home yesterday and the pool was not running. After looking into it found the circuit breaker to both pumps was tripped. After more investigation found the start capacitor looked like it blew it's self a part. Have been eyeing going with a robot but refuse to pay the summer tax on a unit that was $700 two months ago and is now $742 just because it's pool robot season. So for now I would like to get the pressure cleaner working for a least a few more months until the robot falls back to $700. I know somebody should know if the start capacitor goes on a booster pump will it take the pump with it or can I see about getting a replacement capacitor and get the booster pump back running for at least a few months. Thanks!

Capacitors are a replaceable item on any motor. Should be plug-and-play.

Thanks, I was kind of hoping that would be the case.
