Also to know is, why is my pool pump turning on and off?

If you have a new pump or pool, your pump might be wired incorrectly or loosely! In the case your pump turns off a few seconds after turning it on you might even have a bad capacitor. Capacitors regulate the amount of power the pump gets and can go bad with age.

Why does my pool pump keep shorting out?

When a pool pump gets too hot (or too old), the grease insulation fails and the current begins to find new, shorter pathways to travel through the windings. Instead of flowing down the length of the wires in the windings, the current begins to short circuit.
