When the pump switches on it hums. For about 20 seconds the pump appears to be working but is not forcing water around to the pool with anywhere near the power it should be (I have a fountain attached to an outlet in the pool that barely gets any water through it)
After 20 seconds or so the pump stops working and I am left with the humming noise.
Hi i had the same problem with my booster pump motor it hum but did not turn. to make a long story short see if there is a metal cap on the back of your motor if there is pry it off and you should get to see the shaft turn the shaft with a screwdriver if it has a notch in it or if it don't turn the shaft anyway you can and make sure it turns easy. my shaft was tight as hell but i got it to turn and it started right up again and i had no problem. the hum means it is stuck and it shuts off because the breaker is tripping and after a few seconds it will click back on again, hope this helps
