Swimming Pool Pump Noise

23 Sep

The most common reasons for a noisy pool pump can include: blocked lines, a blocked impeller, faulty bearings or unsecure mountings. These problems cause noises including: loud rattling, grinding, gurgling, whining, buzzing, high pitched noises and vibrations. Many pump noises can be fixed in just a few steps others may require a service call from a professional. While a noisy pool pump is certainly a pain, it’s fairly easy to troubleshoot . First locate the source of the sound—whether it be from the pump’s housing or the motor . It might be cavitation, internal blockage, improper mounting that causes vibrating or bad motor bearings. Even low water levels, clogged pipes, or cold water can cause pump noise. A pump run without sufficient water flow can actually “boil” the water inside the pump and melt the impeller.

Although these wet ends look similar, they are not interchangeable. The height of the intake port, the size and type of threads, and placement of the discharge port can make a huge difference. It is always better to replace your pump with the same style “wet end”. The existing plumbing in your system will line up perfectly and make the installation of the new pump much easier. If you need help identifying the exact replacement you need take a detailed look at the images on our website. If you still have questions, send us some pics of your existing set-up. Make sure we can see the entire pump in your pics.
