Anyone care to venture an alternative guess or offer an oppinion on this or other electrical problems? (snip)

Is your pump 120 or 240 v ? I can understand why the 240V appliances won't work given a missing leg, and how lightning (or something else) may have tripped the GFI's (were they just tripped or are they still dead after reset ?) but I'm not sure why a pump (assuming 120V) would work
slowly. I'm assuming it was off for the winter. I'd think it would be kinda hard for line surges to get through an open switch with enough oomf to damage a pump. Perhaps the pump problem is completely separate and has more to do with a clog or air in the system ???? Time to get out the volt meter and probe some plugs.
