Neighbors pool pump adds 3 s units of noise

[Mark Malcomb]

Damn thing is WI FI controlled I don't know how to operate the bloody thing. I let my
son do that shit. But this sure solves my incredible noise issue. I appreciate the post.

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 fill the pool with dirt.

Wow when I just moved to AZ 118 hot every day in summer. My wife insisted we get a pool. Personally I could have lived without it. High maintenance is costly. Well happy
wife happy life MM

i just saw my neighbor in the back yard with a flash light... and sure enough as soon as they turned that noisy ass pump back on my receive noise went way up from s1 to s5 is there anything I can do to filter it out, or is there anything I can install on it to make it quite I do hold a general class license. The damn thing is loud in real life too. How would y’all go about this... I’m not scared to ask them about it, but I need a good game plan.

A S&W 629 can insert a .44 filter the 629 offers easy trigger application of the .44 mag filter. After the application is complete the new pump will most likely not cause this issue. LOL!

A two speed pump is the way to go I am a swimming pool plumber and repair guy

You can replace the 2 bearings or 6 dollars and clean motor up while its disassembled and good to go

The pump doesn’t squeal like a bearing is bad it just is not very quiet. Or it’s probably normal. But it puts of rfi electrically noisey. Do you know anything about how to make them quite.

It might not have a bond wire connected to the motor

Is it a pentair or haward or what I can ask my rep

 

[Shockwave]

The motors speed control is the most likely source of interference and it uses the AC wires to radiate that interference. The fix is to install a standard AC RFI line filter after the AC feed and before the speed controller.

Advertisers are getting too big for their britches.
I haven’t participated in this thread and yet I have a large full-color ad pertaining to swimming pools on each page. Am guessing everyone does.

Idk I will try and look over the fence they have a tall wooden privacy fence but I will get on a ladder and see what I can see. I don’t know anything about pool equipment, and very little about ac electricity. All I know is my noise issues are coming from there pool equipment. Because they had it shut off for the last four days because we got so much rain. When they turned it back on my noise problems came back.
Thanks for any help.

I have never met these people, idk these people at all. I bought my house back in September. For all I know they could be very nice people.

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.

Would this be something a good AC line filter would take care off? Obviously the noise is getting into you power lines.
