I have a Jandy variable speed pump. It runs normally at 2450 RPM during the day. But, when I turn on my waterfall the pump is programed to run at 3000 RPM. At 3000 RPM, the pump runs for about 10 minutes then shuts down for about 10 minutes and then starts back up. I read in the forum that a member (lakeworthjad) had the same problem back in 2020 but I saw no resolution. The pump is about 10 years old and has no unusual sounds running. This is the first time I have had an issue with the pump. Any ideas?

Welcome to TFP.
Sounds like the pump is overheating and the thermal protection is shutting it down.
Feel the pump with your hand or point an IR thermometer on it and see how hot the motor is when it shuts down.
Post pictures of your pump and equipment pad.
