mikefamig - reading closer, I have to think this was something at the pump - if some of the current starts traveling down the ground instead of the neutral, that'll trip a GFCI - and I'm sure the pump is outdoors getting wet? Even if not, maybe the windings getting close to giving out was sending some amount of the current back via the ground. As I understand it, the GFCI senses the imbalance between the hot and the neutral and will trip if they're not basically even.
