Hey all. So when I left for work yesterday, everything was running normal. I had the following valve settings INPUT Skimmer - ON at about 50% Cleaner (Baracuda) - ON at about 50% Main Drain - OFF OUTPUT Main Jets - OFF WATERFALL - ON LION HEAD things - OFF Pump is a Hayward MaxFlo Motor is Emerson 1.5hp Filter is a Hayward C1200 ----------- So here is everything Ive done thus far without luck -Checked filter, appeared clean but cleaned again anyway -Added grease to the oring for the pump basket -Cleaned out the pump basket -Changed the valves so the inlet was just the main drain (no chance of air I figured) -Saw something online to take plastic grocery bags and wrap around the pvc pipe just before pump and just after as it may have melted from running without air?. Anyways I did this -Bought some garden hose bladder thing, pushed it into my skimmer on the pool side and had it run. It added some water to my pump basket area (not huge amounts) but to the point it was 100% full of water -Using flathead screwdriver, checked for debri from the pump basket area to in both directions (towards valves and the pump blades). Blades seemed to turn. Nothing was lodged in these two areas So at this point Im stumped. I hear a noise as though the motor is coming on, and feel it vibrating when I touch, but seems its not spinning?? I say this only because nothing is priming Anything else I can try? Also how long can I NOT run my pump before my pool goes to crap? Thanks

I have a Saratoga spa, which is working fine, but in turning off the power during the storm, I noticed there are 2 50-amp breakers in the panel. Outside near the spa, is another set. Do I need both? I know there has to be a disconnect within X feet of the spa, but is the one in the panel redundant or required? (New Jersey).
