Here are a couple pics of the pump motor.

No water leaking. I'll see about getting some pump pics and posting them.

Today I discovered my pump making a loud noise that concerns me. Wondering if the bearings are going bad or something. I’ve included a recording and am hoping someone can provide insight on what may be going on. Thanks!

Yeah, I was afraid of that. I may have to punt and call the pool company on this one. Thanks so much for your help in troubleshooting this.

I just tried the bladder. First I tried putting it in the skimmer, but didn't see anything pushed to the pump. Next I put it in the pump and for a while I did see water coming up into the skimmer, but then it died down to a trickle. Attempted to prime again with no success. How long should I...

Thanks for the tip. Headed to Home Depot to get one of these.

Just tried it again while looking in the skimmer. The water in the skimmer is not moving at all - completely still. Also tried the garden hose trick and am not seeing it come up in the skimmer. Starting to wonder if the pipe from the skimmer to the pump is blocked somewhere.

Just tried it for 3 minutes with no success.

Water level is 50% up. I have also included a photo of the equipment. Thanks

I don't have a weir door. Also to answer your earlier question, I just have one skimmer. Thanks

Just checked the impeller and it was clear. Also tried it on recirculate just now and it pretty much does the same thing. Here is a brief video of what it does.

Should I just stick my hand in there or is there a better way? Thanks.
