If you replaced the old GFCI with a new one and it still tripped you have a ground fault somewhere or your are getting water or moisture in your wires. You should inspect your wiring as good as possible and look for cuts or insulation breakdown. It doesn't take much to trip a GFCI. What you are looking for could be small. Hope this helps
What surprised me was I expected a GFCI trip to be quick and immediate. I am not sure if taking form 1 to 3 minutes to trip is important or not. In any case I will have to go over my wiring very carefully and see whats up. Perhaps the pump case is allowing moisture in? Just to clarify some of the other questions: I have not plugged it in to a non protected circuit yet but I have replaced the GFCI.
