Kind of a loaded situation here:
Just had 1.5 HP motor replaced last Friday due to the old motor running intermittently & eventually tripping the breaker.
Motor was replaced, all seemed to be fine, until it wasn't. The pool was still shutting on and off. Most commonly, it turns on at 7:30 in the morning, runs for a couple minutes, then shuts off. It will restart itself, but shuts off again. I haven't been able to monitor this all day due to being at work, but that's what I can observe in the morning.
Should a brand new motor be doing this? Or do I need to call the company who did the work & have them come back out to fix it? I won't mess with anything electrical...
Separately, I've noticed the pump losing prime when the pool is not running overnight. While the pool IS running, I do not see any bubbles in pump basket. So, I'm confused on why the pump basket is losing prime if there doesn't seem to be a leak on the suction side to produce bubbles in the pump basket?
I noticed that water is being held in the salt water chlorinator, so it's really just the pump basket losing water
