Possible Causes

Loose pump mounting bolts, Misaligned pump and plumbing, Air in pump causing cavitation, Worn motor bearings

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off power at the GFCI breaker before tightening or adjusting pumps.

  • 1. Inspect pump mounts: Check that all Coleman pump mounting bolts are tight and that rubber isolation pads are in place.
  • 2. Check plumbing support: Ensure PVC plumbing is properly supported and not putting stress on pump unions.
  • 3. Bleed air: Remove air from the pump by loosening unions until water flows steadily, then retighten.
  • 4. Bearing noise: If the motor makes a grinding or high-pitched whine, the bearings are likely worn and the motor or pump should be replaced.
