4 Signs Your Pool Pump Is Dying

Screeching noise A high-pitched screech means the bearings are gone and metal is grinding on metal. Running it like this will seize the motor, forcing a full pump replacement instead of just new bearings.

Water leaking from the seal area Leaks between the motor and pump housing indicate a failing seal. Ignoring it can damage the motor.

Breaker trips on startup If the breaker trips when the pump starts, the motor is drawing too much current. This often signals an impending failure.

Pump shakes or vibrates Excessive shaking points to worn bearings or an unbalanced impeller. It will worsen and can damage other components.
