HI!
I normally run my pressure-side cleaner at night but decided to give it an early start this evening after a pretty good storm dump a bunch of tree debris in the pool. The cleaner started fine but after a few minutes I noticed that it had stopped moving. It started up again after about a minute and then stopped after a minute. I noticed that the hose had gone slack so I looked at the pump, Pentair Boost-Rite, and saw that it was not running. About a minute later, it kicked on again. It continues to cycle on and off. There's no humming or other unusual noise coming from the pump. In fact, you can barely hear it over the Pentair Superflo pool pump which is normal. The motor also didn't feel hot although I'm not sure I was feeling in the right place. The pump is connected to an intermatic timer.
There is a capacitor kit available, so that might be an option although I'm guessing it is a starter cap vs a run cap.
Any ideas of what might be going on or how to diagnose?
