I purchased one of these and the pump has quit working. All it does it make a ton of noise. Cleaned it per instruction, changed out filter, no luck

if it's vibrating, tip the bowl with water in it toward the pump. It should fill the pump and begin flowing. If it doesn't, take the pump out and hit it against your Palm a couple of times to dislodge the propeller so it begins to spin. Either of these should get it flowing.

I have an ancient fish tank motor (same principal) sometimes the impeller(little fan like thing that moves the water)gets clogged Carefully under running water try to flush it out. A little food/whisker whatever may be stuck. Goodluck

i would check for a vacuum leak on the intake side before changing or adding a pump, if it works good some time, it sounds like a air leak .Lost of luck

If the primary pump failed I would replace entire system. I'm sure you could contact the manufacturer to find out for sure.

Since I don't know when you bought this, it's difficult to answer. I had the same problem with one I bought about three years ago. The problem is the GFI (Ground Fault Interrupter) built into the cord. I wound up buying another pump with a completely redesigned GFI and it has been working fine. Evidently, Intex saw there was a problem with the old syle GFI, but didn't tell anybody.

It depends on how long you've had it. It might be clogged or need a new filter. If it is new, I think there might be something wrong with it. It shouldn't be that loud.

To be completely honest I do not know if there is a replacement pump. Though have you tried taking it and cleaning it with a q tip. If you clean the motor with a q tip once a week it helps. If it is not pouring water out take it apart and clean it. Do that once a week too and it should work for a long time. The tank that holds the filter comes off so you can clean out any hair that may get caught. I hope this helps. It would not hurt to call the company to see if you can get a replacement pump if my sugestions do not help. Wish I could be more help.

I don't know if you've tried, but when my filter was plugged in after cleaning and "didn't work" I looked down at the little fan thing on the left side, poked at it and it started right up. Something had jammed the fan....maybe try that. Otherwise, I found directly from the company to be the only way.

I ended up replacing mine. It was noisy and would stop on its own. I'd simply replace it!

Your pump and the rest of the filter system needs a good cleaning. Take everything apart and clean it and it will work again. You can find a cleaning kit of brushes the right size for all the openings here on Amazon. Also, you need to be replacing the charcoal filters as needed.

Sounds like it needs to be cleaned. Follow the directions for cleaning that came with the pump, and go through the process twice. Good Luck! I've had the same problem after several years of use at which point the pump just seems to wear out.

For the price I purchased two late last year. Not sure if it would be worth trying to get it fixed. The problem I had with the other one was an automatic shut off which constantly shut the pump off even when the tank I was filling was not full.

I have had trouble with the heater ever since I bought the pool. I can't get it to work right now. I had to order a new bigger pump! Unhappy

Your water tube is NOT far enough in the filter pump! Mine does the same thing after I clean it, makes a hell of a racket! Then I just 'bump' it down gently but firmly and the noise stops!! Just make sure that the wheel is set properly into the pump motor. That should resolve the noise problem!

I own this and have found to fix must replace the whole unit.... This summer2014 will be our second replacement in two years. It was suggested to me to bypass thus pump and draw water thru. But use a sand filter... Might try that instead

I found cleaning the pump intake solved the problem. When I took my out, it had cat hair plugging the intake side. Once I got it cleaned out, it works like new!

As I could never get mine to work I gave it away. I spent 500$ on a bigger pump but it wouldn't work either. Don't buy this loser, go to Pinch A Penny and buy their vacuum that fits on the return. Cost is less than 200$.

One of your pumping pistons isn't re-extending for the next pump and so it's only pumping at half pressure.That's how mine died, I haven't figure out a fix yet.
