My water pump is kicking out the circuit breaker about once a day when wife washes clothes. Motor is not hot, could it be the points or is the pump getting bad. Wayne

If it only trips when she washes clothes and not during a shower or bath, I think I'd be looking for a wiring issue, like the pump not being on a dedicated circuit

A power bar is not intended to be used to run motors, the breaker may not be able to handle the motor load. A water pump should have it's OWN circuit and panel breaker.

ditto. you're just asking for trouble if it's not on a dedicated circuit
