Pool pump suddenly very loud

lennypack · Sep 24, 2022

Hi everyone,

Hoping someone can help. My Zodiac pool pump is suddenly incredibly loud, almost sounds like its grinding somehow. Everything seems to be flowing through etc as it should be, but the change in volume is concerning me. I've checked and it's not blocked under the filter basket or anything. Thank you!

Welcome to TFP!

Likely the bearing. Not too big of a deal to replace.

Thanks v much John. That's what my retired pool builder father in law suggested. Here's a video if that helps? Am I ok to keep running filter anyway until fixed? Thanks again

Could be something stuck in the fan at the back of the motor. Check that before disassembling the pump.
