Hello everyone. This afternoon I went ahead and cleaned the pool filter since I will be on vacation for 1 week. As I started the pump back up, I was able to prime the pump and then breaker tripped. I went ahead and reset the breaker and it would automatically trip with the timer on off. I was able to reset the breaker without tripping, but once I turn on the pump on low or high it trips. So then I reset the breaker and with the timer on off, I spinned the motor from the back shaft access. To my surprise the breaker tripped with the timer on off.
I did replace the motor bearings and seals back in March of this year and it has been working just fine until today. The pump is a Pentair Superflow high performance pump. I believe 1.5, motor PN 340043. Any idea what could be causing this? Any help greatly appreciated since I leave tomorrow for 1 week and might have some time in the morning to troubleshoot. Thanks in advance.
