Pool Pump or Electrical Problem?

[matt4x4]

Sounds like the pump is tripping (internal automatically resetting breaker, probably thermally controlled - sounds like it get reset when the pump has the power disconnected - As cleanclothes said)
If the pump is getting noisier every couple of days, it means the bearings are wearing out, this will cause excess heat, possibly triggering the thermal overlaod breaker.

Thanks guys. I'm going to go to my pool store shortly -- doesn't open until 10. And ask about a new pump and installation. I have a Hawyard Super II pump. Just wondering if any of you had some "guestimates" on what this might cost? Of course, I'll have to ask how much labor will be?

Thanks for all your help!

Well, at 10:00 I called the pool place. At 10:30 there were at my house to check the pump! Good service I'd say! (I've been a good customer.) Looks like the pump was so overheated that it MELTED the fan! He had to take it somewhere to have it checked out to see if this will be a repair or replacement issue. Either side of the coin for that for me is $$$ He told me I could get some liquid chlorine because it might be FRIDAY before they can get it back or another one on!
Any suggestions while my pool lies in WAIT?

Thanks for all your help!

Blessings,
Debbie

Replacement motors are so inexpensive that you'd be better just having him change out the motor and pump seal. And yes, add chlorine until they can get your pump back in.
You shouldn't need a complete new pump either.

I had to have a motor/shaft. It's all fixed now! Yeah ... now on to FIX my water!

Thanks for your support and help -- everyone!
