When Is It Time for a New Pool Pump?
Your pool pump is made up of many moving parts. When these elements malfunction, they become a great source of frustration. Functionally, your pool will not filter properly, and you’ll be out of luck when it comes to swimming in clean water. Financially, you’ll still continue to pony up to repair and replace each piece.
Symptoms of a Broken Pump
Noises and Clogs
If your pump and skimmer baskets are empty and you still have restricted water flow, there’s a good chance you’re experiencing a clog or some sort of suction loss. In turn, your motor is likely working overtime to compensate. You’ll know this is happening if you hear grinding, screeching, or humming sounds. Worse, you may hear nothing at all if the motor has died!
Leaks
Your pump can break down for many reasons. It could be as simple as a faulty shaft seal or something far more difficult to repair like the motor or seal plate. In any case, it’s critical to diagnose the problem and replace your pump when necessary.
Age
Pumps are comprised of many elements, which mean they contain multiple points of failure inside. Assessing a particular issue can be challenging, but it’s probable the motor is the root of your pump problem. If your motor has been around for longer than 3 years, you’re probably due for a new one.
