jasontjames Posted November 13, 2010 Report Share Posted November 13, 2010 My 3 year old booster pump is making a really weird noise. It is almost like a surging sound. The cleaner is not getting enough pressure to operate. I have shut it off. Could it be possible for the pump to be going out already? I only run it 3 hours a day. Any thoughts?

Beelzy Posted November 13, 2010 Report Share Posted November 13, 2010 If the sweep in the pool is a Polaris or Letro sweep, the Pressure relief valve at the wall fitting may have broken. The result would be a sluggish sweep, and the noise at the pump would be due to no Back Pressure on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasontjames Posted November 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2010 Thanks Beelzy. It is a Letro. I will replace the PRV and see if that fixes it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
