I've got a Hayward SP2607X10 pump. It's at least 10 years old. Last spring I had some issues with the booster pump. I wound up replacing the booster pump and in the process two new breakers were installed and the incorrect wiring which had both pumps on the same breaker was corrected so that the pumps are on different breakers. Everything ran fine all summer. A few weeks ago during a cold snap here in Alabama I had a problem with my intermatic PE653RC control. I wound up replacing it because I could not turn the pumps off from the control. They would turn on but the buttons would not turn them off.
So I just replaced the control and I ran the pool pump. About 5-10 minutes later it tripped the breaker. I thought I might have an issue with debris in the lines. The pump is at or slightly below the bottom of the pool level. Water from the bottom drains usually flows freely. I opened up the filter basket lid and water was not flowing. I cleaned out the basket and inlets, closed it back up and ran the pump. The pump pulled for awhile and eventually water began flowing again. Shut it down, opened up filter lid and water flowed from the bottom drain line like normal. Put it all back together, ran the pump and 5-10 minutes later it tripped. I did notice the pressure gauge on the sand filter is showing about 60 PSI when the pump is running. Normal has been 30-40 psi.
Lost as to what to look into next - any ideas are greatly appreciated.
