Your pool pump may be tripping the breaker due to an electrical overload, a faulty pump motor, or a short circuit. It is important to have a professional electrician or pool technician inspect and repair the issue to ensure safe and efficient operation of your pool pump.

Does it run for a brief period then shut off? Could be a capacitor getting ready to fail. Could be getting hot. Is it tripping the circuit breaker?
The size of the circuit breaker for a pool pump should be determined by the pump's current draw. The breaker should be sized to accommodate the pump's full load amperage with a 125% safety margin. Most pool pumps typically require a 15 or 20 amp circuit breaker.
The sump pump breaker alarm will keep going off if it is being overloading. This is usually a result of a failing pump or a clogged filter.
The GFCI is sensing stray electricity. Usually, there is no GFCI connected to the pump motor. The GFCI devices would be associated with the air blower, or the lights. If it is the circuit breaker, then there may be a problem with the circulation pump or the circuit breaker itself. A qualified electrician will be able to locate and correct the electrical problem. A pool repair tech may be able to do the same and also correct the problem if it is the motor. Ken
We have a large filter pump on our pool. When we installed the above ground pool, we put a in ground pump on it to keep it excessively clean. We had our neighbor, an electrical engineer, install a 220 v circuit breaker in a circuit box next to the pool which is also attached to the breaker in the house. Most pool installation companies feel that this is unnecessary which is what I was told when I which to a specialty electrical supply co. The part costs $250 and fortunately was installed for free. I wouldn't have it any other way. Any static or close electrical storm activity trips the breaker. Last summer, lightning stroke our tree which was 15 feet from the pool. The tree blew up but the pool pump was just fine. Hope this helps.
There could be several reasons why your pool pump is not receiving power even though the breaker has not tripped. Some possible causes include a faulty connection, a problem with the pump motor, a malfunctioning timer or control panel, or a wiring issue. It is recommended to consult a professional electrician or pool technician to diagnose and fix the problem.
Your sump pump's Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) may be tripping due to a faulty connection, water leakage, or electrical issues. It is important to have a professional inspect and repair the pump to prevent potential hazards.
Is the power on, do you have a breaker, is the water level up, there are so many reasons for a pump not to work more information is needed.
Your sump pump may be tripping the GFCI outlet due to a ground fault, which can be caused by water leaking into the pump or a faulty electrical connection. It is important to address this issue promptly to prevent potential electrical hazards.
If the switch is mounted securely and it keeps tripping during normal driving conditions I would suspect the switch is bad.
Pump the water out or put a cover over the pool.
