TROUBLESHOOTING
ISSUE CAUSE CORRECTIVE ACTION
Air leak in suction
(bubbles issuing from
return fittings).
Re-tighten using Teflon tape.
Plugged, restricted, or
damaged impeller.
Clear blockage and replace the impeller seal.
Noisy Pump
Air leak in suction piping,
cavitation caused by
restricted or undersized
suction line or leak at any
joint, low water level in
pool, and unrestricted
discharge return lines.
Correct suction condition or throttle return lines, if
practical. Holding hand over return fitting will
sometimes prove this point or putting in a smaller
eyeball fitting.
Vibration due to improper
mounting, etc.
Mount the pump on a level surface and secure the
pump to the equipment pad.
Foreign matter in pump
housing. Loose
stones/debris hitting
impeller could be cause.
Clean the pump housing.
Squealing sounds that
are getting louder over
time
Bearings may become noisy over time if not
properly maintained. They can be re-greased and
should be done with regular pump maintenance,
depending on usage. Check for leaks in the seals
that may allow water, including chemicals, to work
into the bearing ring and wipe out the grease. Any
leaking seals should be replaced at once.
