6 years is a good time - you must have house for your pump :)

If you are close to a pool shop - take it in and get it tested - somtimes it will just need a service.

SOURCE: Need wiring diagram for Hayward dual Super 2 speed

You need 4 wires to wire the 2 speed pump. You will also need a 2 speed time clock.. Tightwatt or intermatic. The wiring diagram is on the motor.

SOURCE: just purchased a new super pump 1hp, but it is

Can you be more descriptive? My guesses are that the motor is wired wrong, the motor is defective, There is a leak in the supply line or the pump and air is getting into the pump, causing the pump to cavitate.

Thank you for posting your question here on Fixya.com.


It could be the pump is bound up but it is more likely the motor is failing. It may be a small part such as the capacitor or the starting switch, but could also be more severe such as the winding itself. You will also want to examine the shaft where it passes thru the pump and motor and look for signs of rust from a pump seal leak.

Start with the capacitor if one is present. Use a digital multi-meter (DMM), preferably with a capacitor setting, or an analog meter set for Ohms. With an analog, you should see the needle deflect as if testing a closed circuit then it will slowly drop to 0 if the capacitor is good. If it doesn't move or moves and stays to the side showing a closed circuit the capacitor is bad. If you notice a burn hole near the terminals on the end of the capacitor do not bother to test it. If you do not have access to a meter you can try grounding the posts together with a screwdriver to see if they arc although it is not a very reliable test method. Be sure you are holding on to an insulated handle for the tool you use to short the terminals together or you can get a good poke.

Next check the internal stationary start switch for continuity thru the contacts. Bent or burned up points and arms can cause a startup failure...you may need a new part if yours is more than bent out of position.

Finally check the winding for grounds and shorts...if you find any it is most likely time for a new motor.

If you are not familiar with testing these parts your best bet would be a local electric motor repair shop to see if the motor can be repaired or if it would need to be replaced. They should also be able to ensure there is no pump damage. If you wish to continue to try to repair it yourself please comment with any questions you have as you work thru the pump and motor.

Inside pump is a difram , it most likely is stuck, some times if you shut off pump, turn back on a few times it might release itself, but most likely needs to be replaced. Let me know, mike from fixya.com

GFCI Breaker tripping when turned on

Try running the motor in the dark. You may find it arcs to the chassis of the motor and that is your culprit. Had same thing on a hot tub 10 years ago. The professional techs tried everything for me. i finished the last part at 10pm and turned the motor on and saw the arc then trip the gfci. Good luck

Vs pump trips breaker. single stage 1 1/2 pump works fine, does not trip

is motor getting hot if so need new motor also check to see if wires on the back of the motor are loose or the wires to the breaker loose if they are ok you need a new pump motor or pump sometimes a whole pump is cheaper than fixing the old one

New hayward super pump trips 20 amp breaker after a few seconds

Use an ammeter that clamps around the wire to see how many amps it pulls. It sounds like a weak breaker.

Normally the GFCI is doing its job.

you could simply have a weak breaker and the load required for the machine is tripping it, have someone replace the breaker in the service panel, and you should be ok, ( while they are there, have them check the actual receptacle for loose or bad wiring
