Electrical question
One of my skimmer pumps is leaking voltage..
Is there anything to look for in terms of seeing if the pump can be salvaged?
I'm sort of suspecting "no" but I thought I'd give the pump a once-over tomorrow nonetheless. Likely though I'm buying a replacement ...
Question #2 ... why wouldn't it have tripped the GFCI if I have a grounding probe? Is there a minimum threshold for creating a ground fault?
I realize that the skimmer being in the sump that the ground probe should also have been in the sump, but I could feel the trickle of electricity in the display so I thought it would have gone to ground and thus tripped the GFCI? The GFCI trips pretty easily in other circumstances.
Just wonderin' .. thanks
