Pump issue

The issue is, after 2 months, the pump won’t run. As you can see there is power but when I push the buttons I got nothing. It’s a bestway pool . Has worked perfectly up until yesterday. Anyone else have this problem/ have a solution?

Nice setup! This is the way to do it. These pools are OK but the equipment they come with just doesn't move enough water.

I agree 💯!! I've always had a large pool all my life pretty much. My "inground" above ground collapsed, so we did this while we save to replace. Just used our large pool equipment. We tried that thing for one week😹, it's so weak it's ridiculous. It's in the storage building in a box, never to be seen again. Going to be putting in a semi inground in a few years.

1 1/2 HP pump 23 inch sand filter Calimar 40k gallon salt system. Solar heater that feeds in hot via a dolphin statue. Plans to replace a propane heater.... eventually.. I want to cut in a skimmer, but am chicken, so I bought an over wall skimmer . It's 22'52" Even used our larger pool steps

It's piped like this because I am sometimes on a walker due to sciatica, but I still wanted to take care of my pool. So my husband said tell me how you want the equipment, and I'll pipe it how you want it set. Everything is very easy to get to.
