I do recommend talking to your local electric motor repair guy, pumps and motors are what they do. Pool pumps are high volume low pressure pumps, and need to flow freely.

What kind of in-ground swimming pool maintenance is needed over winter in cold climates?

To winterize your inground swimming pool, first backwash the filter, and then disconnect the pump. Purchase winterizing chemicals for the pool water, and be sure to use a pool cover.


What is difference between and in ground and above ground swimming 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.

Why does your swimming pool pump work when you plug it the garage but when you hook to swimming pool does not work?

You should never run a swimming-pool pump dry! The most likely problem, from the rather flimsy evidence in your question hinting at it not rotating, is not with the pump or its motor but a fault in the electrical supply to the pool plant, or in the timer or other pump controller.

Putting in a new pool pump inground does it have to the same brand?

It would be recommended to observe the pump size rating (horsepower) and replace with a swimming pool pump that has a similar flow curve. In terms of brand name, there is no reason that you need to use the existing brand again unless you want to.
