Your pool pump is the heart of your pool system — if it fails, everything else suffers. At Poolburg, we’ve seen how a small issue can quickly turn into a costly repair if ignored. Here are 3 key warning signs that your pool pump may be on its way out:
1. 💥 Strange Noises (Grinding, Screeching, or Humming)
If your pump suddenly sounds like a coffee grinder or a jet engine, it’s a red flag. Grinding or screeching often means the bearings are worn out, while a loud humming could indicate a seized motor. Catching this early can save your motor — and your wallet.
2. 💧 Low Water Flow or No Circulation
If the water in your pool is barely moving or the return jets feel weak, your pump may be struggling. This could be due to a clogged impeller, failing motor, or worn-out seals. Low flow leads to poor filtration and can cause algae to bloom fast in the DFW heat.
3. 🔌 Pump Turns Off Randomly or Won’t Start
If your pump shuts off unexpectedly or won’t turn on at all, it might be overheating, have an electrical issue, or be nearing the end of its lifespan. Constant resetting isn’t normal — and can become a safety hazard.
