Pool pump trips breaker after power outage, severe storm lots of rain

My pool pump has been working fine until we just had a severe storm with massive amounts of rain and wind.

we had a power outage for about 12 hrs.  Now the pump trips the breaker when I try to restart.

Help!

its a Hayward pool pump I ground small pool.

Thanks.

Hello Drgolfmeister - The first thing I would check are the connections at the motor and breaker. A loose connection could cause the breaker to trip.

You can also try letting everything dry out for a couple days and see if the problem continues. If it does, it may be a bad motor. Send us the catalog or part number and we’ll recommend a replacement.
