Need Help: After Prime Cycle Pump Quits

[temba]

Hello Dear, I recently had a Hayward TriStar SP32950VSP installed in January-21. Last night I noticed the pool water wasn't spilling over the spa which made me think it was just a start/stop issue from changing speeds on the controller. This morning, I noticed the spa wasn't spilling over again, and turned the pump off. Stood by the pump/controller and restarted the pump. The pump turned on and ran its prime cycle before throttling down to the RPM's desired. At this point, the pump turns off and stops. It starts fine, primes good, holds prime, just won't run... ome tv omegle

I'm thinking it's the run capacitor, but I wanted to reach out to the community. Has anyone else seen this in the past? Seems odd...

Thanks a lot for your time

Welcome to TFP Temba!

Have you resolved the problem with you pump? Is the pump connected to automation or standalone.

I checked the manual and the only potential issue is improper/low voltage.

Motor Shuts OFF: ​

1. Check for low voltage or power drop at the motor (frequently caused by undersized wiring). Contact a qualified professional to verify the electrical connections. ​

​

Hopefully we can get you some help.

Here's a good set of articles to review while you wait for a response:
