Default Re: Need advice on my pump

I have to play with the impeller or flip it this or that way and after 1/2 hour to an hour of playing, it will eventually come back on. Am I missing something here. Is there a sure way of getting it to start every time? And yes it is clear of all debris and runs great when it runs.

Thanks

I am wodering if it is just a weak magnetic field. I have a little Minijet 404 that does the same thing. It will actually quit spontaneously. I have to pull it out of the water, and slowly put it back in. It will suck some air and start again.
