Pool pump started tripping breaker.

Well, my pump motor started tripping the GFCI breaker on Monday evening, so I brought it into a friend that rebuilds motors.
4 days later, I got my pump motor back and put it back into service Friday after I got home from work. (This is Sunday for those coming late to the thread)
My wife was worried that without a pump running, we would be in trouble. I told her "Don't worry, I got this".
This is what my pool looks like this evening.

I WOULD have been in trouble if it hadn't been for what I have learned here at TFP over the past couple of years.
You guys are the best!

Nicely done

I more or less wanted to post this so we could point out that algae is NOT caused by lack of filtration.
But is the result of a chemical issue.
