I was rinsing off my automatic pool cover and having the pool cover pump to pump off the water and silt. When the pump came on it started squawking really loud like it had a dry bearing. Is there any way to lubricate the bushings or bearings in the actual pump? It is a Little Giant APCP–1700.

The pump works but I am not sure how much longer with dry bearings/bushings.

Thanks,.

Unfortunately, those are basically "throw away" pumps. They are sealed, and probably oil-filled, so as to be able to work in that wet environment. It would likely cost more to repair, if you could find a shop to do so, than to purchase. Its $147.95 on Amazon.
