Frequently Asked Questions

Pump turns on and off frequently

If your pump is buzzing or humming, it could possibly be a capacitor or jammed.

Buzzing

If your pump is turning off and on frequently for less than 1-2 minutes, you will have a leak on the discharge line (more than likely a toilet). Isolate the toilet at the tap and see if the pump holds pressure.

To check disconnect from power and try turning the back fan on the motor. If it is free to turn, it is the capacitor - we can fix this. Bring the pump in and get it inspected.

Air in the pool pump lid

If you have air in the basket area of your pool pump, check the following:

  • Suction (Inlet) oring on barrel union.
  • Oring on the lid, If it is flat or miss shaped

If both have been checked and you still have air, It could possibly be a cracked suction line going to the basket.

We can wet test the pump and eliminate the pump as the issue if this is happening. This will make sure you're heading in the right direction for the fix.
