SOURCE: we have a hayward pump and the motor keeps
The motor might be too powerful for the line it's on, (usually a pump should be on a somewhat dedicated line) no Ac's running on same breaker.
An extension cord longer then 6ft is also a suspect in not allowing the pump the draw enough power.
The pump may not be drawing enough water, overheating and tripping the breaker, or the motor might have rust on the inside causing the armature not to spin freely, and shut off. (usually motor will make a high pitch noise) while running)
SOURCE: HI! Just bought a Hayward
I have a few ideas. That the pump didn't come with a cord suggests that it should be hard wired(not a plug in) and you should check the product info plate to see if it requires 110 or 220v. and that the circut that it is being connected to can handle the start-up amps. Mine required a 20amp 220 circut of it's own. When wireing the hot wire(hopefully black) should be connected to the copper clored screw and the white one to the silver screw, the bare /green wire to the green screew. There is also the possibility that the new unit is defective !! can be checked with an ohm meter.

The capacitor is probably bad. It's under the cover on the side of the motor, Take a look and smell it. A motor shop has them, or Grainger

If there is air in the pump it cavitates and can make it run louder, otherwise it is the bearings in the motor.

6 years is a good time - you must have house for your pump :)
If you are close to a pool shop - take it in and get it tested - somtimes it will just need a service.
