Maybe there was some slush in it, or if it has oil in it the oil may have been thick from the cold, just a guess though

It sounds as thou it can't handle the added pressure/restriction of the hose.
Sounds like maybe the motor took a hit due to ice pressure it could of damaged some of the motor windings,how's the impeller is all of the fins attached?
Sorry, flying blind I'd have to see it.

Live bait sharp hooks and timing is all you need

From what I can see the pump has no issues, I even took it apart and inspected everything.

It's still running fine tonight...I'm just worried something might be wrong that's going to haunt me later. Very strange behavior.

That was my initial thought, but why would the pump then continue to work?

If it was really a Buckman ploy, the pump would have caused great frustration then ultimately failed.

Unless, the failure is yet to come. I'd say if it goes for another day and then dies I'll be ruined. Just as He planned...

Amazing how this turned ill humored....politics politics...I think Tat Bob had the right answer - the pool pumps are filled with oil and the oil was probably too heavy to run properly untill it was warmed up.
