Stenner single speed pump 45 series.makes loud squeak when running.

[mystrwizard]

Ive got a single speed Stenner pump, Its the 45 series and when it runs, as the rollers spin around, you can hear them forcing the pump tube to push against the housing and cause a squeak that is really loud. we can hear it inside the house through a stucco wall. Ive changed the pump tube and cleaned out the housing and still does it. I made a video on you tube that shows the problem.

I use this to pump diluted chlorine into return pipe for pool

Any help will be appreciated on how to stop it. Ive sent email to technical support for Stenner but have not heard back yet.

Sincerely,

Reese

This is just a wild guess but is the housing connected to the motor correctly. I would un-mount and reconnect the pump to the motor. Make sure the pump tube is seated correctly in the housing ( centered ). Here is a vid to help http://www.cannonwater.com/Products/how_to_video-s_.html

Well I thought I had fixed it. Seemed that the pump tube had been twisted when I tightened the Ferruls to the end which worked for a few minutes, no squeak but then came back as loud as ever. Not happy with that pump. So is this kind of a flaw with this model pump or just defective? Would I have same problem if I bought another or is there something better out there?

I have been looking at stenner posts for a couple of weeks before I purchased and installed mine. I have not seen any mention of the type of noise you are having - therefore, it is likely you have a defective unit. If I were you, I would contact either:

(1) Stenner Pump Manufacturer - stenner.com/support and submit an inquiry through their support page or call their support number and discuss with them.

(2) Contact support where you bought the Stenner pump from.

PS - post back here when you receive any additional information or resolve the issue.

The most likely cause of the squeak is that one or more of the rollers are froze to the shaft and not turning as they rotate, or the roller shaft is dry and needs lubricating. If it's under warranty contact Stenner and let them send the necessary parts.
