My Intex 603M will only run for 5 min or less before it trips it own circuit breaker.?

Hi Leanne...
Sounds like you need to prime your pump...check the instruction manual on how to accomplish this task

Pour some bleach (about 2 gallons) around the perimeter and give it a good brushing. May have to repeat in a few days. That should hold fine.

If the device that tripped is a ground fault circuit interupter (GFCI) breaker or receptacle then it is likely caused by 5mA or more of leakage current to ground within the motor. If what tripped is a circuit breaker then there are likely shorted turns within the motor. Usually either of this issues requires a new motor.

If you are not wanting to turn wrenches yourselfthen my best suggestion is to bring it to Leslies Pool Supplies and they oftencan put it right for the price of the parts while you watch (they might not have some parts in stock).

I hope this helps.

Have you tried running an extra duty extension cord to another plug, not in that circuit?? Your GFCI may be bad?? Pump drawing too many amps and the breaker not rated for those amps.. Bad pump??

I would try another plug first and work from there...

What kind of pump are you using?
Sounds like the Intex is restricting water flow there by heating up your pump and shutting it down..
You may need to re plumb everything to handle the flow.
Intex hoses and fittings are different than the industry standards just so the can make you buy from them
Do what ever it takes to get good flow

More than likely, it's the element. They begin to 'leak' small current as they get old and this will trip the GFCI

Chek the high voltage capacitor and the diode . If one of them are short there is a chance for tripping the breaker

I would change the breaker frist and see if that sovles the problem

Your breaker has become weak with age. Have an electrician replace it for you and your problem will be rectified.
