ok, thanks for the info. I thought I was reading that it was the same. But good to know. thoughts on this generic IC40 by splash? https://intheswim.com/p/generic-salt-cell-ic40/81422.html I'm getting a little desperate...but at the same time want to keep the $ down.

ok, thanks. I did also realize that Pentair's ichlor 30 would work for my pool. So I will see if I can find that one as well.

I need to get a new salt cell and am having a tough time finding a replacement IC40. I thought these cost around $500 online, but only finding options for over $1000. Anyway in light of that I was considering switching to another manufacturer. Is there any adapter to allow me to power another...

update: I found some small-ish leaves in my strainer basket. Once I removed them, the noise went back to the normal levels. Thanks for trying to help.

it's a Sta-Rite variable speed pump. I've changed the speed both up and down and the noise persists, and pitch of it shifts somewhat (higher pitch at higher speed)

thanks for the response. No noticeable pressure change, water still is moving.

Guys, Here in alabama the temperature got down to about 12-14 last night and I woke up to this noise coming from my pump. It won't get above 24 today or tomorrow. Is this noise a problem? Any ideas what it is or how to make the noise stop. The pump is 1.5 years old. I posted a video on...

Thanks for the posts guys. I am working to see if I can get a friend to add the water. And the automatic leveler looks cool. But my question remains: it's not a problem to turn off the skimmer is it?

I know this question has been covered before, but I'm a little nervous as this is my longest vacation since I've owned a pool. I will be gone for 10 days. I'm currently running my SWCG 12 hours a day at 100% and this produces the right amount of chlorine. I was going to keep that going while...

thanks. I'll see what I can do tomorrow to get in there and have a look.

it sounds like it's coming from the fan area. No, I'm running the pump at a very slow speed at the moment, and therefore the pressure is very low too.

thanks, that was actually my gut instinct (about it being fan related). Now I wonder how easy it is to get into that space and see what I find...

Can you help me figure out what's causing this slight rattling noise that's coming from my pump? Hopefully you can hear it in the video below. thanks, Andy I posted the video of it here: Pool pump noise - YouTube

thank you for your input. I'm not ignoring any advice. It's just all new to me and I don't want to risk doing something wrong.

thanks everyone for helping me figure this out. I'm attaching the relevant pictures. Also I've updated my signature to give more details about my pool that I hadn't mentioned yet (2 skimmers, 6 jets, 2 drains). No, I haven't closed any of it yet. Was wondering if I really needed to do it, as I...
