If you ever come home from a long day at work only to realize your pool pump is no longer functioning, here are some basic troubleshooting steps to follow to help diagnose the issue:
- Has your power gone out, or your breaker tripped?
- Has your equipment accidentally shut off? Check the power source.
- Is your water level low, causing your pump to lose prime? Fill the pool to your proper operation level.
- Have any of your valves been closed? Make sure all valves are open properly.
- Are all your baskets, int he skimmer and pump, clean and clear of debris?
- Is your lid sealed on the pump?
- Is the pump full of water?
- Has your automation system experienced a power outage? If so, reset the time.
- Do you have an automatic timer? Make sure your dial is set to the right time and the on and off trippers are in the right time locations.
- Has something gotten stuck in your impeller? Carefully check this, making sure the power to the pump is off before you investigate.
