Hayward TRISTAR PUMP 1.0 HP, 115/230V Logo
Posted on Nov 22, 2010

My Hayward Tristar 1.50 HP pump is 3 years old, and recently developed a high-pitched humming noise that is causing a noise disturbance. The performance seems to be operating okay, but it never used to sound like this. What do I need to do to fix this noise?

Sounds like the bearings are going out on the motor. The noise will increase as they wear out more until it locks up and throws the breaker. You can have the motor rebuilt or just replace the motor. Consult a pool professional to help out with this.

Neighbor's kerosene tank makes horrible noise at night

The oil lines that run from tank to furnace is acting like a guitar string. As oil is being pumped through the pipe, it is humming. Try placing an old rug on the tank to see if it absorbs the hum.
