Pool pump not working — Barcelona, Catalonia
A pool pump that won't start, makes unusual noises, or doesn't circulate water properly can quickly lead to algae growth and unsanitary conditions. Common causes include a burnt motor, clogged impeller, air leak in the suction line, or a tripped breaker. A pool and spa technician can diagnose and repair or replace the pump.
