What is causing this sound?

Pump making awful noise, what could it be and how do I resolve it. The pump is new, installed this spring so I wouldn't think it's the bearings.

Sounds like bad bearings. I would suggest a warranty claim.

Thank you. I am talking with my installer to get it replaced.

I really wasn't expecting it to be bearings already.

It was hard to ID from the clip. I had a noise that I worried could be bearings early on. Called PB who had me turn it off, just in case. When he showed up, he turned off the power at the breaker, took off the lid, pulled out the basket, reached in and cleared a little twig from between the impeller and the pump wall. That took care of it.
