Hey guys, my skimmer randomly started making a really loud sound. I have cleaned it twice and it won’t go away. I have a video attached of the sound and the difference it makes when the skimmer turns off. Thanks Heaps!

 
Skimmer pump impellers when they are wearing out or have something inside the spinning area can make a lot of noise.
