My 1 HP motor for my waterfall pump died. The pump is a pre 2005 Jandy (PHP 1.0). Motor is an A.O. Smith 1 HP. I was able to get an A.O.Smith 2 HP motor for real cheap from a pool guy. He assured me it would be fine to install in my pump. It does seem to work fine except that after a few minutes, the motor just shuts off. Then, it will come back on for a few minutes and shut off again.
Does that sound like a bad motor or an issue with my pump's diffuser or impeller? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
