How to Detect A Failing Pump and Prevent It.


Pool pumps use a lot of power and create a lot of heat for normal operation.
The four reasons pumps fail are: Friction, Lack of Airflow, Suction-Side Restrictions and Pressure-Side Restrictions.
They are also in direct heat during the hottest time of the year, thus a higher potential to over heat
Pumps can overheat in two ways, electrical problem or friction.  However, the lack of water or drawing to much current is the greatest potential for fire.
A simple test to see if you pump is running hot is to put your hand carefully on top of the motor.  If it is so hot you cannot rest your hand on it most likely is a failing pump.
Another symptom of a failing pump is if the pump won’t turn off.    That may last for a few days and could go on for up to a year.

The best way to prevent this is with proper care and maintenance!
Hope this is helpful.
