I have a timer connected to the electrical wiring that operates the pump 8 hours a day. The timer itself seems to work, I mean I see the metal gear assembly inside turning slowly. I have it on at 10am and off at 6pm everyday. The problem is it WILL turn off but will not turn back on. There are two metal clips (ON and OFF) screwed onto the big metal dial wheel, they are in the positions they have always been, yet for some reason it's not turning the pump back on. That's why when I was gone for two weeks and came back my pool is now emerald green...yuck... Any advise on what I should look for? I am not sure the mechanics of the timer, I assume the metal clips catches the manual latch to turn things on and off? If it is turning off automatically and on time, that means the timer is running and the wheel is functioning, right? I wanted to manually rotate the dial and see how the OFF is being activated and see what is happening to the ON, but I think if I loosen these parts I might not be able to put it together again. If I need it serviced do I call an electrician or a pool company? Thanks in advance, MC

My pool pump seems to be working. However, the "creepy-crawler" hose attachment stopped pumping. I tried everything and am now at a loss for a quick fix. Anyone have any input?
