Warm spring nights, cool breeze through the open windows, your neighbor’s pool pump screeching. Sound familiar? Barking dogs, buses, Harleys, your kid’s drum set. All noises we don’t like but seem to come with the territory of living with neighbors.
Would you be surprised to hear that the most common noise complaint we get is about swimming pools? Yup, today’s backyard water parks have loud blowers, and raging waterfalls. Even that tiny trickle from the spa can be annoying to some people if it runs all night.
The most common noise problem we hear about at Pools by Ben, Inc. is the good-old pool pump. Pumps with bad bearings are really noisy, but that is rare. Most pump noise is caused by pumps that are too large. Perfectly fine pumps that are vibrating because they can’t get enough water no matter how hard they pump. If you can hear your pump, then it’s too loud.
To prevent brown outs, Southern California Edison wants your pump turned down or off from noon to 6 p.m. If you want your noisy pump on the eight hours in a row it takes to keep your pool clean, you either have to start it early in the morning or run it at night. Neither of those options will make your neighbors happy.
Modern pool pumps run silently all night and all day. They save hundreds of dollars a year on utility bills and clean the pool better than ever. How a pool looks after a few weeks with a modern pump is amazing. Crystal clear water like the first day it was plastered. Technology from the hybrid car industry leaked into the pool motor business creating today’s modern pumps.
Best of all, they are completely silent.
