Hi all,

I'm a newbie to maintaining a pool as i inherited it when I bought the house. Anyways, I just filled my concrete pool up with water and attempted to turn on the pump, which was working several months ago. We turned it on to drain the pool and wash it. Now when turning it on, we can feel the motor getting warm but nothing happens. Any ideas what may be wrong? Do I need a new motor? The pump is a Hayward Super Pump II, which self priming and rated at 2 1/3HP.
Any other diagnostics before I call in service?

Also, what should I do to my pool in the meantime if the pump isn't working?

Thanks!
