    Neighbors pool pump adds 3 s units of noise

    Also it makes rfi 24/7 what ever it is, that actually is making the noise is for sure related to there pool. What ever it is, is on all the time. From what little reading I’ve done your not supposed to run the pump 24/7.

    Neighbors pool pump adds 3 s units of noise

    I found a eham thread about pool pump noise.... non of it will do me any good though. Unless I get the fcc to fine them $16000 a day for everyday they operate the pump lol. To me it’s way worse for a neighbor to be causing the noise. If it was my own pool I would just cut up all the wiring and...

    Neighbors pool pump adds 3 s units of noise

    I guess the short answer is don’t have a swimming pool or live near anybody that does. Atleast you own the pump and can switch it off when ever you want. I’m just totally at the mercy of the people who live directly behind me. I think the idea that I could somehow get the fcc to do something...

    Neighbors pool pump adds 3 s units of noise

    I did a little more research, and it seems to be common knowledge that variable speed pool pumps create rfi, apparently the fcc has fined people over incidental radiators.
