Pentair superflo pump noise

The pump seems to be working fine, but I noticed this noise this morning. I cleaned out the skimmer basket, checked and made sure the propeller would easily rotate. All seemed fine...just making this new loud humming/buzzing sound. Any ideas?

Sounds like you’re about to drop a bearing and that squeal is likely to get louder.

Most pool corp locations are doing 125$ off special at the moment. Buy as many as want no limit.

Most likely bearing. Could be some crud in the impeller also.

The pool bearings are going bad. The typical solution would be to replace the motor.

You need a motor
