Basic troubleshooting steps when your pump in not working
Check Power Supply
Ensure that the pump is receiving power by verifying that the circuit breaker is not tripped and that the pump's power switch is turned on.
Prime the Pump
If the pump is running but not circulating water, it may need to be primed. Prime the pump by filling the pump basket with water.
Check for Blockages
Inspect the pump basket and filter for any debris or obstructions that may be blocking the flow of water. Clean out any debris and ensure that all valves and skimmer baskets are clear.
Examine the Impeller
Remove the pump lid and inspect the impeller for any clogs or damage. Clean out any debris or obstructions that may be preventing the impeller from spinning freely.
Check for Leaks
Inspect all connections, seals, and fittings for any signs of leaks.
Motor Noise or Overheating
Listen for any unusual noises coming from the motor and check if it feels excessively hot. This may indicate a motor issue that requires professional attention
