One of the most common causes for a noisy pump is that it’s running dry. This can happen for a few reasons—the most common of which have to do with the skimmer plate built into the side of the pool. If your pool water level has fallen below halfway down the skimmer, your pump might be sucking in air as well as water.

How do you know if your pool pump bearings are bad?

How much does it cost to replace pool pump bearings?
With the cost of parts at roughly $30 (including the shaft seal), a bearing job can be an inexpensive fix. A caveat: It’s not uncommon for a bearing replacement to last less than a year. Also, the more times a bearing is replaced, the less likely it would seat in the end bell properly.

Why is my water pump making a weird noise?
If the pump is making more noise than usual, it is likely that one or more bearing is worn. The pumps bearings allow the drive shaft to pass through the pump housing and attach to the impeller. A squeaking or clicking sound coming from the bearings is a warning sign that they are wearing and in danger of breaking.
