Runs Great
Posted in Watches on 04/15/2010 08:53 pm by adminWhen I turn on my pool filter pump it runs great at first the after a little while is slows down?
It runs great at first but then in slows down to a trickle. I clean the filter and replace the DE. Then it runs great for a while then slows down again. The pool is not dirty so I don't believe it's being clogged.
GT is right. I am an Industrial Electrician. Our biggest challenge is keeping pumps and pump motors running. It would be very helpful to check the Amps of the motor right when its cool then see them go up or down when its been running for awhile. If they go up to the point of tripping the breaker its the bearings. If the Amps go down a little at the point of less flow there is something blocking the flow (the pump has less load if it is just spinning inside without moving water or otherwise working). The guys at the home improvement store or electrical shop can help you buy an Amp clamp and get the Amp draw. But check a couple of easy things first. You say its not the filter but check it anyway. Look for trash, plastic bag material, cloth, string, or one of your ball valves is failing inside, in the areas of the intake and the piping before the filters. If you can, check inside the pump casing for trash or sand. If you dont mind the cost, then just install a new pump and motor. It will be instantly conclusive weather its the pump or obstruction. In the end, if you buy a new pump and motor, and its not the problem, you will have a spare for when it does go out.
