Pool Pump Making Noise in Bonsall, CA
Screeching, grinding, or rattling from the pump almost always traces to the bearings, the impeller, or cavitation. In Bonsall, that is worth diagnosing before it turns into a bigger repair. Bonsall runs on Rainbow Municipal Water District at 14-18 gpg, which is very hard water. Around here that means aggressive calcium scaling from nearly pure Colorado River water eating away at plaster, tile, and pump seals, and it shows up in problems exactly like this one. A specialist in the Refresh Pool Pros network can diagnose it on site in Bonsall and quote the fix in writing before any work starts.
Likely causes in Bonsall
- Worn motor bearings (a high-pitched screech that gets worse over time)

What to check before you call
