Common Problem
Pool Pump Making Loud Noise? Common Causes and Next Steps
Pump noise commonly points to worn bearings, a bad shaft seal, or debris in the impeller — and Orlando's coastal salt air accelerates bearing wear. Left unaddressed it may end in motor failure.
Most likely causes
- Worn motor bearings (accelerated by Orlando salt air)
- Cavitation from air leak
- Debris in impeller
- Loose mounting hardware
What to do now
Turn the pump off, check the strainer basket for debris, then consider scheduling a service call. Continuing to run a screeching pump may cause further failure.
