I have a 1 HP Hayward pump. This year I replaced the GFI power receptacle that the pump plugs into. I don't if it is in any way related to this, but this summer the pump is much louder than I remember. Any opinions on what might be causing this? The pump seems to work OK, just noisy.

Is there air in the pump basket? What kind of noise?
Typically, a noise pump is motor bearings.

No it's not an air in the pump basket noise. It's like the normal noise ... but louder. I would guess it's the bearings. The pump isn't that old - I think we replaced it about 5 or 6 years ago.
