Pump and Housing Imbalance

An uneven pool base could be causing your filter and motor to vibrate, which as you know can be noisy. It`s common, as uneven settling happens over time. In this case, you could try leveling out the ground so everything remains balanced.

If the pump is on, but you hear a humming noise, it may indicate a faulty capacitor. If your pump is old, you may need to replace the motor. If none of these is the issue, your pump could be overheating – check the vents and remove any obstructions.
According to the Hayward EcoStar user manual, all errors can be reset by pressing “Stop/Resume” when the error message is shown. You can also clear the code by cycling power applied to the pump after the error occurs.
Noise filtering is a set of processes that is performed to remove the noise contained with the data acquired on construction and infrastructure sites. The 3D data obtained need to be processed, and the contained noise should be eliminated or reduced.
An uneven base might be causing your entire filter and motor to vibrate—and that vibration causes noise. This can be a common issue; sometimes the ground on which your pool pump was installed settles unevenly over time.
A typical swimming pool pump runs in the range of 65-90 decibels, almost as loud as riding in a subway car. This can be a detriment to a pools outdoor pleasure. Even a small decrease in this sound can help tremendously.
Humming Motor: If the pump motor makes a humming sound when starting up, you likely have a clogged impeller. To remedy this, simply open up your pump, and clean out any rubbish.
Some of the most common reasons are that: You might have a bad capacitor. Debris might be blocking the impeller and consequently disabling the pool pump. There might be problems with the motor shaft.
The humming sound means the pump is working but there`s no water to move, so your pump is running dry. If your pump has lost prime, or is running dry, this is due to a loss of water.

If you notice the pump seems to be shaking, making popping sounds, hissing or rattling rhythmically, you may be dealing with pump cavitation. Cavitation happens when the pump is being starved for water. When starved for water, the impeller creates a low-pressure zone and cavities, or bubbles, develop.

I can’t get the lock ring off to get the cartridge out to clean! It spins about half a turn then stops, HELP!
ANSWER : There should be two buttons (for lack of a better word) on the underside of the ring you push up on to unlock as you turn. Once it is off turn the pump on for a second or two to pop the lid off. When putting back together close air bleed and fill bottom of filter with water then put the top on and as the water tries to drain back to the pool the suction will help pull the top down into place.

Noise MY HAYWARD XSTREAM POOL FILTER IS NEW AND IT WAS WORKING VERY GOOD FOR AWHILE. I CLEANED EVERYTHING PUT IT ALL BACK TOGETHER AND NOW IT’S MAKING A VERY LOUD HOWLING VIBRATION NOISE. I PLACED MY HAND OVER TRHE OUTPUT INTO THE POOL AND THE NOISE STOPS BUT AS SOON AS I TAKE MY HAND AWAY IT STARTS AGAIN.

How do I unlock my Hayward Xstream filter. I can not get the filter top off
ANSWER : Same problem, brand new filter… I’m 190 lb guy who works out 6 days a week, I can’t open this filter for the life of me. If I knew it would be so hard to open I’d have opted for a less expensive sand filter. Cartridge are supposed to keep the water clearer but if you can’t open the filter to clean it without spraining a wrist or having a heart attack (or both) what good is it? Beyond mad, I’m thinking of just biting the bullet next spring and buying a filter that actually opens. Even the brand new Hayward chlorinator didn’t work properly this past summer, i,thought they were supposed to be good products, dealing with their customer service is pointless.

Replaced the top gasket of the filter, turned the filter on and the water was coming out of both the pool and the backwash at the same time and the motor began to smoke. Any clue what is wrong?
ANSWER : Try consulting the owners manual for these pool filters. They have a troubleshooting guide and set up guide. It should help you know how to correct your problem.

I have a Poulan push mower that after mowing in a ditch started making a loud noise and running rough. It almost sounded as if metal was hitting metal. The mower was vibrating more than normal. I checked under the mower and nothing is hitting. After a few times of stopping the mower engine because it sound as if it is going to die down the mower will not start now. The shaft does not appear bent and the blade appears ok. The mower has oil, a good spark plug and a clean air filter. It was running fine until that moment. I did not see anything that I hit but it is possible I hit something in the ditch like a pine cone or branch. What could the problem be and how would I go about fixing it?
ANSWER : If you are sure the oil level is correct then it sounds like it’s about to die, unfortunately. A pine cone shouldn’t cause any damage, but a large branch may do so. Was it smoking before you shut it down? The vibration could be caused from a bent blade. It could also be caused from a part breaking in the motor. I wish I could have given you better news!

Good Luck,
