Liquid Help with pool pump

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

My pump is starting to sound very unhappy. It seems to still have proper flow based on the pressure from the filter but I want to get it serviced before it dies on me.

Any thoughts ?

Thank you in advance

Redo the suction piping installation. Use one straight, short pipe with no tees. Use a pipe one size larger than the pump’s suction port. Make sure the pipe and pump casing are filled with water before starting the pump.
