Lifeguard quiet pro pump

[Masomaniac]

I've had the pump for a year now always loved these pumps but lately it's gotten rather loud and I'm not sure if I should replace the impeller or the bushing. The impeller seems fine so the only thing I could guess is to try replacing the bushing to save a few bucks if it works.
Any help is appreciated.

I have purchased it already to try just want some opinions now.

Probably the impeller, but let us know how testing goes! :)

Will definitely post my results hoping it's not the impeller.

The bushing did quiet the pump down to a slight him. I'm thinking replacing the impeller will make it silent but the humming isn't bothering me enough to buy one yet lol

Definitely let that "wear in". It might quiet down to nothing on its own now.
