I have a new Pinter Superflow high-performance pump only one week old. I shut off the pump to turn the dial to backwash when I went to start the pump up again all it did was hum. I pressed reset on the breaker box on the wall and it still kicked it out When I went to start what could be wrong? Is there a reset button or breaker on the actual pump itself? Why does it keep throwing out the breaker box? I don’t understand..
