    Just turn them off, fill things up, and check them out. It's possible they got hot, and will need new seals. Usually, it doesn't burn up the motors.

    Remember, that even if there ARE problems, you can maintain the pool by pouring bleach in it, and using polyquat.

    Thank you so much, I am going to throw some bleach in and leave everything till later tonight or first thing in the morning. I am guessing I will need to increase CYA. I have only just added some to it as all the vaccing I had to do and refilling pool to clear the algae reduced my CYA to a big fat zero!

    I will also adjust PH and check everything.

    Oh well I can cope with that as long as the pumps are ok.
    Thank you again for your help :-)
