LOL! I watched the video in entirety. Found your info very useful. I predicted my loud pump was the result of bad bearings. Thanks for confirming!

@BillDubeCreator 5 месяцев назад

I'm sending this to my neighbor. I just hope he takes it to heart. Great information, I'm shooting for education angle, and for him to get an enclosure which I've already offered to pay for half.

Thanks alot for the tips! I saw some "needs more spunk" type comments, I disagree. I thought it was awesome to see a human being not putting on a show or over-doing it on their video ;)

@soundproofguide 4 года назад

Thank you! I appreciate it! 😊

@Julei_ 4 года назад

Any idea why my impeller (idk if that's what the spinny thing is called) would be hitting against something? When i turn it on I get the rock grinding sound. When I took it apart I see the spinny thing has some minor wear & tare the noise comes from it hitting against the part that it connects to. Could I have lost a spacer or something? This prolly makes no sense because I have no idea what these parts are called but I'm desperate to fix this pump =(

Great vid, you see a lot of people from trashing their pump motor, and buying a new one. They don't realize there is a cheaper fix. Motor repair shops can solve the problem cheaper than buying a new pump motor. Thank you.

@jimtimberlake7860 Год назад

You fixed my noisy pump! I always keep the skimmer baskets clean, but one became unseated and sucked in a bunch of leaves and other tree debris into the pump basket. Cleaned that out, and it's about 90 percent quieter. No exaggeration. It took me longer to write this comment with my thumbs than it took to fix the pump. Thanks!

That’s awesome Jim! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

@jgposner 3 года назад

I made it to the end. I think I just have a loud pump. It was loud on day one. Loud on cement or grass. I put it in a box and it was still annoyingly loud. I'm going to check your list of quieter pumps. Good video, I clicked the like button.

@davidduncan4236 3 года назад

Yes I did stay to the end. Some of the early stuff was just normal maintenance stuff that people "should" be aware of - at least we would hope so. The the A-frame idea sounds like a winner for my situation. My hayward pump is not so loud, it is in a shed at the back of our small garden, but I'm worried about the noise upsetting the neighbors, so a little extra sound proofing should do the trick.

@richschlueter442 3 года назад

Great advice. I had no idea where to start looking for the issue.

@malcolmstowe2247 4 года назад

@rudyg4470 Год назад

Stay to the end very informative advice. I'm quite sure the bearings on my every built pool pump was failing within a year and half after purchasing from my local Home Depot store. The problem seemed to be from a very poorly design pump cover. The outer black locking lid seemed to made from a very poorly structured plastic. The ring seemed to move sometimes when the pump shut off creating water leakage. Note the o-ring could have played a part leakage of water with sealing and pressure. Thus making the pump work inffentent and causing over heating. Eventually creating damage to the bearings. Ever Built pool pump didn't covered the pump warranty because it was a month out off the coverage date. Warranty almost always works in favor of the manufacturer..👌

I will do the bearings on this one just to do I’ve never done that but I’ve done similar jobs and I am a electrician and HVAC. I’m license I can’t wait to get my prosthetic foot. And get back to work I love messing with swimming pools and making people happy especially the kids. I also do above ground pools but I can get them perfect level like 1/8 off at the most at the most lol.

@websanityseo 2 месяца назад

Thanks, we have a very noisy pool pump next door and we traced one key noise source as the outlet pipe. The pump itself is on acoustic pads but the outlet pipe was shaking the entire shed the pump was situated in: creating a loudspeaker! I braced this against something and it reduced the noise a lot. I know somebody who is an acoustic engineer and he was shocked that it wasn't fitted via a flexible pipe (maybe this is a particular problem because the pipe is very short and then connects firmly to the shed wall, thus creating a 6 foot by 12 foot speaker cone!) But he knows nothing about pool pumps - maybe fitting a short piece of flexible pipe would help isolate noise???

@websanityseo 2 месяца назад

PS. I got to the end of the video :-) One tip is that ONE of the pool pump pipes also ran through the wall of the shed that it was in but with no clearance and thus, again, vibrating pipe made vibrating side wall to shed. I cut around the pipe so there was clearance to not touch the side of the shed at all and you could feel the difference from the shed wall not vibrating... AND a reduction in annoying low level, low frequency sound that is a bad nuisance for us (it's not our pool, it's our neighbours - yet I am having to try to reduce the noise from it so we can use our garden :-()

@TomMcCaffreyIrish 3 месяца назад

I'll go for the sound enclosure and I will take a 4" pvc tube from the cold air in the cistern and pump it through the sound enclosure with a small inline 4" air pump????

@NancyTigress 3 года назад

@matt7841 4 года назад

I stayed for the entire end. I appreciate the suggestions you offered. My pump is still working quite well, but the sound has changed this season, but not as loud as some have described as in bearing failure. I checked the impeller, and basket. I'm pricing pumps now. Possible replacement.

@user-ip3lu8je9h 9 месяцев назад

@elizabethswintek9251 4 года назад

Stayed till the end. Water fill and both baskets are always my default moves but this time the noise persisted. It just happened overnight so I’m suspicious of it being a clog. I’ve already checked for a clog but it was with a long wire bristled brush so I plan to go back in with a plastic drain declogging tool and spin that around a bit. I think I’ll check to see if it’s a vibrational issue first though. My husband put his hand on the pump for 30 seconds earlier today and said it was the bearings going out 👀 It’ll be funny (or not so funny 😞) if it turns out he was right. Thanks for all the info., that was a big help!

I put pressure on pump. No change but after hurricane I now notice the pump doesn’t sit on the cement platform straight. Two front leg things are only half on. I’ll work with that. First. Filter cleaned. I put more water in . I’ll check impeller next. The hurricane dropped my cage and screen in my pool. It could have hampered the impeller with screen . Then I’ll check bearings. How ?

@cathyvandolder3087 3 года назад

Stayed to the end! Thanks for the tips 👍

@robertjackson7590 3 года назад

If you replace your bearings you can carefully remove the seals on each side of the new bearings. Blow the grease out with compressed air. Wipe synthetic grease filling one side of the bearings and cage. Install the seals and install in the pump. OE bearings rarely if ever use this grease and it's far superior.

@PrettyGoodLookin Год назад

Which grease ?

@gregkaras8099 2 года назад

Thank you! I think the bearings (whining noise) got damaged during the fall. The water level got too low and debris in the basket. That said I’ll try the A frame to quiet it. Thanks!

I learned several things that I'm sure will be helpful in maintaining my pool pump going forward. I've gotta ask... Are you Canadian? You seem too nice to be an American? (coming from a mostly proud American)

@chriskersting1129 3 года назад

Thanks for the tip in sound proofing materials. My pump is mounted on the old plastic pad. The pad acts like an echo chamber that magnifies the sound of the pump. I’ll try stuffing some pieces of workout mats under it

That should definitely make a big difference!

@valetini127 Год назад

I services my pump. Open clean the impellor and put it back. When i on it it low and after some time it make a lound of noise and getting hot. What should I do to make it low.

@frankdatank2529 4 года назад

I watched till the end but I usually just buy a new one so it can last another 2 to three years maybe less cause we have our pump running 24/7 so it’s actually a lot longer and older my pumps by run time by that I mean running time. Some people have timers and only run there pumps half the day or only 4 hours or 8. Everyone’s different. We have a lot of traffic here like people swimming here everyday me and my family but the rain make it dirty also all that makes ur swimming pool dirty and then you need more running time I don’t know jk I do. But if you don’t have no trees also I notice ur swimming pools stays cleaner for a longer time. Our in ground swimming pool get dirty quick if we don’t maintain it. Like three to four days with no chemicals or at least a week maybe sometimes and it will get dirty really quick. But we usually check it, I usually check it everyday lol. I don’t have much to do and I like to be outside showing off to my neighbors that I’m outside cleaning my in ground swimming pool . With my terminator prosthetic foot lol. I love my life I hope COVID-19 goes away and I’m sorry for that Floyd guy may you Rest In Peace plz people get over it yes it was a bad thing and yes those or one cop is going to prison for that. I love everyone.

very good!! All of a sudden I hear the motor so loud. I saw debris inside the motor through the clear top. That debris may be causing the motor to work harder and make the loud sound possibly right?

@soundproofguide 3 года назад

Definitely the debris would make the motor work harder. And that will in turn make the motor hotter and louder.

My pump EVP101-r got flooded last week (submerged in pool water). I took the cap off and dried out the electric connections which had got a few drips of water in. Then I was pleased to find that the pump still works. But I think it is noisier than before. Do you think I may have got some water in the bearings or somewhere else? Is it possible to grease them before they start to corrode? What do you advise? Thanks.
