I installed a new Hayward super pump and in the back of the motor the switch keeps clicking like it's constantly trying to start it even though its running
The clicking you hear is a thing called a centrifugal switch , it engages below a certain speed to "cut in" the starting circuit , if you hear this continually click the power is shutting off or the speed of the pump is slowing down enough to engage this switch , this is not good as starting circuits are not designed to operate long , id first ck all your power connections ,might be a loose wire some place then if that's ok you can ck the speed of your pump using a strobe light (my phone has an APP for that!!) it would show your pump speed slowing down , this would need more investigation as to why this is occurring

Remove the back cover from the motor, lock the shaft in place, thread off the impeller.

Your motor has a thermal protection switch in it the reacts to an overheating condition. Once the motor cools enough it will turn back on. You may be able to have the motor rebuilt for about half the cost of new if it is not damaged to severely. Take it to a local electric motor repair shop for service. If it is damaged beyond repair, you can shop around for a new one. If you would like a quote, contact us at www.arrowpools.net with your pump model number and we can quote it.

Throttle the discharge valve between the pump and the pump this pump is cavitating.

The front of the wet end must be removed to access the impeller. Then remove the rear electrical covering to expose the rear end of the motor shaft. Look closely at the shaft. It has two flat sides. A 12mm open face wrench will fit onto the shaft. Lock the shaft in place with the wrench and unscrew the impeller. The rear housing behind the impeller pops off to reveal four 9/16 bolts. Remove them and the motor is free. Reverse the process with the new motor.
