My pump was working just fine all seaon. I turned

My pump was working just fine all seaon. I turned it off about a week ago and covered the pool to get it ready to close. I went out today to start draining the pool but when I try and turn the pump on it just makes the regular sound it usually does but doesn't move the water. I am new at the pool thing and was wondering if I am doing something wrong or if there is a problem with the pump.

Check that pool cover is not blocking filter intake.intake hose may need to be temporarily re-routed to a point below skimmer to drain water.

Intex purespa displays current water temp but will not turn on or start filter/bubbles. Bought 1 mo ago: just set it up a week ago. Was working fine for 1 week. TrI'd unplug and reset. Any ideas??

is displayed temp less than 2 degrees than setpoint temperature ? its possible this situation will disallow the pump to go to high speed and the air infusers to work till spa heats back up , or can be a heater fault as well

Pool pump turned off when turned back on popped and smoked

Ouch! Never run a pump that is leaking badly. It sounds like the seal or the housing gasket didn't set right when the motor was changed out.
The short story is you need to replace the motor again. The thermal overload and the breaker kept your house from catching on fire. Get qualified help to install next time. People consistently underestimate the amount of damage that pool equipment can cause when not done correctly. Better luck with the next one!

Hayward Pool Pump Motor Problem

if it looks like the one pictured it has 2 caps on it both must be good, the start switch might have some trash in the points and can be cleaned with the striker off a match book, be careful not to bend point arms. search your area for your local pool pump motor repair guy..

How do I remove air from pool filter lines?

with out seeing your set up not to easy,but lets try
1 your pump room is below surface of pool, make sure your pool level is high enough to return water to pump via the skimmer hole in side of pool at surface level. water should fil pump basket. check that you have a good seal on glass cover. no water in basket check if valve from pool is open still no water close valve fill filter chamber with a hose close glass cover start pump and open valve immediately.
2 pump room above pool level, close inlet valve fill pump filter with water close glass cover securely start pump and open valve.

My pool pump timer will turn on but will not turn off it used to work fine until about a week ago

With the pump set to off go to the outside controller box and hit it with your hand on the front of the box. It might take 2 or 3 tries. If the pump goes off the control relay is sticking and has to be replaced.

Will not pump when it has a filter in it

filters are too good for pump system.

These pool pumps seam to over heat fast, no quick fix.

* Try getting more air flow around pump.
* Only use pump when using pool or near by.
* Use a pool cover - will help stop dirt/rubbish getting into pool - less to filter.
