Pool Pump Help!!!!

9 years ago

I have a Pentair WhisperFlo 2HP pump that will not turn off. It is connected to an Intermatic Timer. When I turn the manual switch to OFF, it does nothing. I have to turn the breaker off in order to get the pump to stop.

I have no idea what is causing this. I have contacted a pool technician and still waiting on a call back. I am hoping I can figure it out before having to pay a technician.

Any help or ideas are much appreciated.

If I'm picturing things correctly, it sounds like the timer is fried. Usually they fail on, which it sounds like yours did.
