How to Troubleshoot Swimming Pool Pumps

If you own a swimming pool it has a pool pump that keeps your pool clean and it is very necessary. However, like all things

mechanical, they will sometimes break. Here are some methods to troubleshoot swimming pool pumps.

A swimming pool pump has both a cooling fan that is internal and an impeller that helps to prevent the swimming pool pump

from overheating. These both spin at high speeds and do quite a bit of noise. That's the reason that a swimming pool pump

should never be put directly under a home's window. Noise that is excessive can be the result of one of two things. The first

is that the impeller spinning might result in the swimming pool pump vibrating.

If these vibrations are causing the swimming pool pump to bump against the slab of concrete that it is located on it will

amplify the swimming pool pump's running noise considerably. A piece of old carpet or a rubber mat that is placed between the

swimming pump and the slab will help to quiet the sound. The second is that if there is a change or a rapid increase in the

amount of noise that it makes while it is running might be an indicator that the internal bearings of the swimming pool pump

are beginning to go bad.

If no water is moving, the first thing to do is to check the valves that run to and from the pool pump, to make sure that

they're all fully open. Then you should remove the filter from the swimming pool pump and see if the swimming pool pump will

run alright without it. If it does the filter should be replaced or cleaned thoroughly. If the swimming pool pump still won't

move water, then either the impeller or the pipes are clogged. You can use a high pressure air compressor to blast the pipes

clean and make sure that the swimming pool pump is turned off and disconnected from the pipes first.

If this fails to work, then there may be something that is wrapped around the impeller. If this is the case, you need to open

the impeller chamber of the swimming pool pump and clean it of all debris. In order to avoid injury the swimming pool pump

must once again be turned off beforehand. If the swimming pool pump still won't move any water, the impeller is probably

broken and the entire swimming pool pump must be replaced.
