NO PROBLEM PUMPS ARE OK TO GET WET AS WITH RAIN SHOULD BE FINE IF NOT JUST RESET BREAKER OR GROUND FAULT.

Water sprayed on the pump occasionally shouldn't hurt it but it might cause a ground fault circuit interupter (GFCI) to trip. If you turn on the pump and literally nothing happens then most likely the the GFCI has tripped. If it hums then this is a different issue. If you have a volt meter you can open the timer box and check whether power is available to the timer. If no power is available in the timer then it confirms that the pump is probably ok. Checking your circuit breaker panel for a tripped breaker or finding a tripped GFCI then either one can be reset and your pump will probably run without a problem.

I hope this helps.

I have a haywood ec 40 filter and pump i cannot mget my de to coat the filter fingers a charge of de lasts only a few hours ,when i take the filter apart to check it all the de is at the bottom
First, I would make sure that you are adding the DE correctly to coat the inside. Make sure that you close the pool filter drain and the vent valve. Prime and start the pump. Air trapped in the system will vent to the pool. Once the air has escaped the filter and a steady stream of water is returning to the pool, the filter is ready for pre-coating. Be sure not to operate the filter for more than one minute without the pre-coat charge.Scoop 5 lbs of DE into through the skimmer as fast as the plumbing will take it. You could also have a hole or tear in one of the "fingers", in which case you need to replace it.

Mi pool pump is not pumping the water
In order for a pump to work it needs to be "primed" that is filled with water, the pool has to be up to the correct level, and nothing blocking the water flow. Hayward pool pumps also have many problems with their pump lids, they don't seal and let in air. They recommend using jacks lube on the lid o-ring but honestly Ky jelly works best. Hope that helps.

No water in pump after running for short time
suction side leak... your grabbing air somewhere in the suction line.... take a hose at low pressure and with the pump running put it over various parts of the suction line... including your pump lid... if the problem goes away and you have no more air in the pump then you know what your problem is

Hayward Self-Priming Pump with AO Smith 1 HP 56J frame motor. Stopped moving inground pool water. Added water to pump basket (low). Turned on pump, return jets sent "bubbles" into pool, stopped, then...
the pump must not have any air leaks in the suction side of it,, or it will just **** air and not water,,, water is very heavy you see, however i think its the impeller in the pump thats the problem,,,you should try to put water in the out let of the pump so you fill the pump with water first if its dryed out it may just wear out the impeller before it starts to **** water up, if this still dont work turn off the stop **** and strip out the pump to look at the impeller any wear on it and it will need a new one fitted
i hope this has help you, good luck
