Pool Pump Not Running — Los Angeles, California
When the pool pump stops running, water circulation and filtration halt completely, allowing bacteria and algae to multiply within hours. The cause may be a tripped breaker, a burned-out motor capacitor, a seized impeller, or a failed motor winding. A pool technician diagnoses the electrical and mechanical fault, replaces worn components such as the capacitor, seal, or motor, and verifies the pump restores proper flow and pressure.
