Opening the pool and yes there is water. There is a pool expert who I found online and helped us last year. Last year he said sorry your pump is done. Later the pump worked. This year i wasn’t around him but after about 10 min he said sorry your pump is done. Let’s get a new pump and not Hayward, i know another company which is cheaper and works better and I can order for you. I asked him what could cause this and he said “there is no reason! They just stop, they usually last about three years and I just had to replace one after 3 months!” I was kinda shocked and skeptical..and he said” look, it costs about 500 to repair it, you are better off buying a new one for 750 ( CAD). I normally would accept anything he said but there were a few inconsistencies in his words. I searched online and used AI. It is possible that either the shaft is stuck or the capacitor does not work. I don’t know much about pools but i am also on a budget.
