A typical capacitor pool pump consists of the power supply, capacitor switch, governor, windings, and a protector. Below are common pool motor issues that you may be likely to encounter, and the options as to where you can obtain parts for your pool motor in Sarasota, Florida:

Common Pool Motor Issues:

Damaged Capacitor

The capacitor is a common part of the pool motor that often needs replacement. The capacitor provides torque to the motor shaft in order for the motor start running. A bad capacitor, therefore, prevents the motor from running, and often just makes a humming sound without being operational.

Water Damage to Windings

Heavy rain can cause your motor to become submerged in water, causing the windings to short out. The windings consist of wrappings of wire around the motor, which facilitate the motor to keep running when it’s on. Water damage could cause the windings to lose their current and prevent the pump from running.

Defective Overload Protector

The overload protector prevents the motor from overheating. When the maximum amps stipulated for the motor are exceeded, the motor overheats and triggers the overload protector to shut it off, allowing it to cool. A defective protector can cause the motor to constantly turn on and off, or to simply overheat.

Finding Parts for Your Pool Motor

A pool motor needs regular maintenance in order to keep it functioning at optimum levels. Therefore, the parts mentioned above may need to be replaced every so often. But where can you get access to quality pool motor parts in Sarasota? Mader provides the parts and services necessary to remedy motor issues and keep your pool/spa running efficiently.
