Make sure the GFCI isn't faulty which most likely it is okay.

If you have someone that can do electrical work your pump might just have a short in the cord.  It could be many of things but water and electrical problems are a safety issue which I am sure you are fully aware...

Don't take chances when it comes to faulty electrical devices!


OUCH a 10,000 GPH pump is not cheap!


Good luck..

If it's less than a year old send it back, with copy of receipt. If not go buy a good brand of pump. I had a Torpedo 4000, dead in 5 months, replacement dead in three, this last one I don't run as I replaced it and it's out of warranty now.

Thanks. This morning I pulled the pump out and turned it on. Low and behold it works. Put it back in and it tripped the circut again. Tried this a few times and it seems to work if I don't put the pump as deep. It's weird. I won't touch it again and maybe it will get me thru the summer.

Have a nice day.

It sounds like a weak seal, as it won't hold up to the pressure of depth. Again if it's under warranty send it back.
