Possible Causes

Pump not properly secured, Broken or missing rubber isolation mounts, Plumbing contacting cabinet or shell, Unbalanced motor

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off power before adjusting pump mounts or plumbing.

  • Inspect pump mounts: Check that all mounting bolts are tight and that rubber isolation pads are present and intact under the pump feet.
  • Reposition plumbing: Ensure flexible hoses and PVC pipes are not pressed tightly against the cabinet or shell. Add foam or padding where needed.
  • Level spa: Confirm the spa is level and fully supported on its base to reduce resonance.
