I have a Waterco Supa Tuf pump 1 hp, Model: 241100, on my pool, and it has been working fine for the last 2 years. Starting last week when I turn the pump on it will run only 5-10 minutes, then kick the breaker off, and shut down. I can start it up again and it will run 5-10 minutes and do the same thing. Has anyone else had this problem, and if so what was the solution to correct??
SOURCE: Crash!!
Could be Heat, sounds like the system is shutting down to protect the processor. Let it sit shut down over night and see if it runs longer when it's cooled down. Is the fan running?
SOURCE: Pump trips breaker
If the seals are damaged, water will leak into motor section and cause GFI to trip and yet the pump will seem that it is running fine if plugged into a non-GFI receptacle
SOURCE: My pool pump is 2 months old. It is a Hayward 1hp
The capacitor is probably bad. It's under the cover on the side of the motor, Take a look and smell it. A motor shop has them, or Grainger

SOURCE: new hayward 1 HP super pump runs 1 or 2 seconds,
Check that the motor is set for the proper voltage. They are usually factory connected for 230V and if you have a 115V line feeding it the motor will overheat and cycle the overload as you describe.
SOURCE: Pool pump starts & stops on its own outside of programmed run
There are several potential problems:
Yes, the starting and stopping can harm your pump.
