Your pump is most likely cavitating either from plugged media, or plugged pump well.
Sometimes when you shutdown for a while, sludge will plug up in the well, and when you restart no it is out of center or and does not get the same flow it did before and this generates more motor heat that is now going to water. During normal operation your pumping water is what cools your motor, if the sludge builds up or hardens, no flow to cool the motor. So motor heat, builds up and is transfered to the air and to the water.
If you shutdown, and dont clean your media, or atleast the mechanical media, sometimes the sludge will drop down and plug up, or during the intial start, a slug chunck will plug up your fine media and creates a suction head loss which causes the water to heat up more.
HAve you cleaned this filter yet? Is this your first time to clean it?
