Help me find a new VS pump

Something else to note...
When I turn the filter/pump off on my omni controller, I still get 249v at the lugs of the pump.
Is that normal? I'd expect 0 volts if the pump was "off" on the automation.
Could the relay be bad? And if so why wouldn't the pump motor power up if it has voltage?

I was able to go back to when the pump failed today on my camera. Doesn't sound great. 
I'm pretty sure that was the breaker tripping in the first few seconds of the video. The breaker was tripped when I came home. I wasn't doing anything abnormal at the time, just running the vacuum robot and had the pump set to "override" at 3450 RPMs during that time. In the video the robot was moving around fine, so I don't think it would have been clogged. That thing tends to stop if there's a tiny twig that gets in there.
Not sure what to do here, but thinking I'll probably reach out to INYO to see how to make a warranty claim.

Anyone else with any suggestions regarding the 250 volts being normal whether the automation has the filter/pump on or off?
Or any other suggestions? I contacted INYO today for a warranty claim but open to more troubleshooting.

For the sake of continuing to document my problem, I'll keep posting.
Since I was getting 250v when metering the line and load terminals regardless of whether or not the pump was "on" on my controller. I swapped the relay with an unused one and it fixed that problem.
So the relay was either bad already or went bad when the pump died.
Pump still isn't getting power even with 250v at the load terminals. I'll check the pump lugs again here soon before I remove the motor to take pictures for warranty purposes.

Confirmed the pump motor lugs were receiving voltage again after the relay was swapped.
Pulled the motor off again to take pics for a warranty claim. Ugh.
