Possible Causes

Loose SmartPool blower or fan mounting, Pump and heater resonance at certain RPM, Loose cabinet panels, Unsecured gas piping contacting cabinet

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Goal: Isolate and dampen the vibration source.

  • Identify source: With the heater running, gently press on cabinet panels, gas pipe, and nearby plumbing to see if the noise changes.
  • Tighten hardware: With power off, tighten screws on blower mounts, cabinet panels, and pipe supports.
  • Adjust pump speed: Slightly change variable-speed pump RPM to move away from a resonant frequency.
  • Add supports: Install additional pipe clamps or vibration pads under the SmartPool heater if needed.
