Any experts in pump diagnostics??
Advantage ES8500, two of them, about 1 & 2 years old.
There's always a problem. Used to be the capacitors would blow up every 6-8mo. To fix that, I installed dedicated lines and breakers to run them and only them. 20amp breakers and wire. Got new pumps, the current ones.
Fast forward to last week. Had to unplug them for a few days. Yesterday, I turned them back on.
I went outside this morning and one is not moving water!
No sounds at all. No clog.
What else can make the pump impeller not start?
If it's the capacitor again, advantage pumps needs to go out of business!!
I've wasted thousands on these pumps and parts.
