The pump acts as the suction to pull the water into the filter and return it to the pool's jets.
What item was torn off? You would have to close the valves on your returns so the pool's water does not come out through the broken part. Can you post pics or explain more?
Good luck!

How is an above ground pool pump different from an in ground pool pump?
In simplest terms, an above ground pool pump is a flooded suction pump, which means the water level must be higher than the pump for it to operate, and an inground pump has the ability to draw water up from a level lower than the pump. The engineering and structure of these two different types of pumps is what makes them work the way they do. This means that, in a typical installation, you could use an inground-specific pump on an above ground pool, but not an above ground pump on an inground pool with the water level below the pump.
Can an in ground pool slide be used for an above ground pool?
Generally...no. In simplest terms, an above ground pool pump is a flooded suction pump, which means the water level must be higher than the pump for it to operate, and an inground pump has the ability to draw water up from a level lower than the pump. The engineering and structure of these two different types of pumps is what makes them work the way they do.

What type of pump do you need to drain 24' dia x 4' deep above ground pool?
You could use your pool pump. or get a submersible pump. it is also not difficult to siphon an above ground pool with a pool vacuum hose. all you need is somewhere to run the water to.
How much do above ground pools cost in comparison to in ground pools?

Do you add antifreeze to an above ground pool?
no all you have to do is use a pump or the drain if the pool has one
Is there any way to repair a hairline crack in an above-ground pool pump?
NO
Can you replace a shallow well pump with an above ground pool pump and will it have enough suction lift to lift the water 20ft?
Above ground pool pumps are made to sit at or below the water level, not to pull water up. If placed above the water level, or away from the pool-side they will not circulate the water properly and may not even prime. For your well, a better option is to go for an in-ground pool pump - or better still, purchase a pump made for your particular application.
How do you remove water from an above ground pool?
If there is no drain plug then you can use a sump pump.
What size heat pump for a 18x33x4.5 deep above ground pool?
The size of a heat pump that you can use for a pool which is 18 feet wide by 33 feet long and has a depth of 4.5 feet can vary depending on specific brand of heat pump you wish to purchase. The minimum size of heat pump for an above ground pool of this size in 102,000 BTU.
How do you get rid of the water that's in an above ground pool?
Pump it into the sewer or just run it into the garden.
Bubble in above ground pool pump?
Don't worry about it unless it interferes with the pumping of the water.
How much are pool pumps?
It all depends on what type of pool pump you need; if it is a standard erect above ground pool pump, it can cost anywhere from $75 to $300. But if it is a in ground pool that needs a new pump, it is going to be thousands of dollars for a good one that won't break easily and the installation is also costly.
