Pool Pump Making Noise in La Presa, CA
Pool Pump Making Noise is one of the more common calls we get from La Presa homeowners. Screeching, grinding, or rattling from the pump almost always traces to the bearings, the impeller, or cavitation. La Presa runs on Otay Water District at 14-16 gpg, which is very hard water. Around here that means slab-settling damage and aging equipment on established pools, and it shows up in problems exactly like this one.
Likely causes in La Presa
- Worn motor bearings (a high-pitched screech that gets worse over time)
- Cavitation from a restricted or undersized suction line
- Debris caught in the impeller (rattling or grinding)
- Loose mounting or a vibrating equipment pad
- Low water level pulling air into the pump
What to check before you call

- Clear the pump and skimmer baskets
- Note the sound: a screech points to bearings, a rattle to debris
