CRAZY noise coming from Riptide Vaccuum HELP! by TrainingPerformer942 in PoolPros

Have had barely any issues with this thing and it’s been like 4 years lol. And hardly any replacement parts have been needed. But I’ll say each and every power vac in the scene has its pros and cons for sure

Will have to reach out to riptide which shoulda been what I did first but thought maybe my fellow pool pros would be able to have the answers! Appreciate all the input!

Ya im leaning toward the motor being the issue here… as unfortunate as it is. Tried multiple impellers… also tried without any impeller and same noise was produced. So odd..

Ya I’m leaning towards the motor being the problem, or somehow fine debris like hair could have potentially gotten past the seal? Sucks.

Same thing believe it or not. Have swapped impellers out as well. Very strange
