Possible Causes

Running at too high a speed for plumbing, High head pressure from small pipes or long runs, Incorrect voltage causing overcurrent

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Use caution when touching the motor; surfaces can be very hot.

  • Check speed setting: On Aquaflow variable-speed models, reduce the RPM and observe if motor temperature decreases.
  • Verify voltage: Confirm supply voltage matches the pump's rating.
  • Evaluate system design: If the pump is oversized for the plumbing, consult a pool professional about reducing speed or reconfiguring the system.
