I'm trying to figure out if I need a new pump or it's something else.
We have a two speed (high and low) pump. Normally, I just run it 24/7 on low. Several times a day it just shuts off on low. If I turn it to high, it works. If it turns off while on high, it doesn't work on low either. Eventually, it will turn back on...sometimes after 15 minutes or up to an hour later. This happens more frequently when it is really hot outside, but it can happen in cooler weather also. Is it the pump over-heating? Is it a wiring problem? Only once has it actually tripped the circuit breaker. This has been going on for the last few years.
We took the pump in to someone after closing the pool last year and he couldn't find anything wrong with the pump. It's 5 years old and for the first two years it didn't do this. Has anyone else experienced this?
