Hi all, we recently purchased a home with an above ground pool, which uses a Intex sand filter pump. We recently had a good bit of rain, and we noticed it wasn't turning on afterwards. I could get it to turn on for a second or two then it would shut off.
I took apart the GFCI module on the pump cord, and alas there was quite a bit of water. So I went to lowes and bought a new GFCI module, installed it... still the same issue going on. I can get it to run for about 1-5 minutes if I am lucky, but then it shuts off. Lights on the module go out, and if I fiddle with the cord a bit, it will allow me to turn it back on.(it's plugged into an outlet on my patio).The leads in the module aren't wet anymore. I am at my wits end and am thinking it probably needs to be replaced, but I wanted to ask you all your thoughts first.
I have tried multiple plugs, extension cords, etc and it always gives me the same result.
