Default Another Beclett Pumps craps out........ :(

Another Beckett pump started shorting out and flipping the breaker.


I'm guessing this is on a GFI, and that's what's tripping?
Could be a flaw in the insulation going to the pump.
I trust whatever it's plugged into is properly moisture protected?
Is the GFI in the outlet the pump is plugged into, or back at the main box?
If you can borrow one from the local electronics geek, an isolation
transformer would help.
