Why does a pool pump randomly turn on / off ?
If your pool pump is turned on and within the region of 10 – 25 minutes is switching itself off, then back on again it is usually a capacitor issue.
However this may not always be the case as I have personally had 2 pumps doing this exact same thing and even after replacing the capacitor it did the same thing. After numerous methods tested on the pumps it was discovered that it was in fact the pumps coil which was overheating. Should this be the case on yours it will probably be much cheaper to buy a new pump.
