Welcome to TFP.
VS pumps should be on continuous power and not connected through a timer. The pump is controlled on and off by its internal control panel and programming.
Have you checked your timer to see if it is operating properly?
You need to check voltage at the pump L1 and L2 connections using a voltmeter.

If your wiring is set up to go through the timer, there is not necessarily any reason you need to change the wiring. You can set the timer to always be on in order to maintain continuous power to the pump.
If the pump does not have power when the external timer is set to on, hopefully its just a broken timer and it is likely easily bypassed.
