Pool Pump Too Hot

www.SwimmingPoo... - If your pool pump smells hot or is overheating then this video will explain the reasons why this would be happening and what you can do about it. In most cases the pump is getting too hot as the motor is beginning to fail. Often the symptoms for this problem are first noticed when the electrical breaker trips out. While you will most likely be able to reset it once the pump cools down it is very likely the breaker will trip again once the pump heats up. This cycle will continue, and get worse, until such time that you can no longer reset the breaker at which point you will require a new electric motor (or often a new replacement pump).
If you need to buy a new pool pump be sure to read the pool pump comparison review by Steve where he compares every brand, make and model of pool pump based on flow rates - NOT horsepower: www.swimmingpoo...
You should also consider upgrading to a variable speed pump as these are FAR more efficient than single speed pumps and will pay for themselves completely within a few years in electrical savings alone.
