Motor is overheating, the the Thermal Overload Switch senses that and will trip. Once the motor cools, it will restart.

you have some metals in your water and the cell needs to be cleaned. Aqua color Normally means Copper.

Did you use a Copper Based Algaecide?

Clean out the cell with a high pressure nozzle on the garden hose and a little bit of vinegar splashed on the cell before rinsing.

Many of these pump motors have a capacitor and start & run windings. I had a pump motor a week ago that was free to rotate, but only hummed. I looked inside the back end, everything looked good, I bought a capacitor online for $7 + $15 shipping, installed it and it worked. The capacitor will have voltage & rating on the side.
BE CAREFUL, CAPACITORS KEEP VOLTAGE EVEN WHEN NOT PLUGGED IN. If you don't know how to handle them, take the motor to a local motor repair shop.

If there is a motor repair shop in your area, go there. They will be able to get you one or offer a good substitute. Good luck...Lee
