pump very loud

Check the impeller for "crud" that might have gotten past the basket.

I was goofing with the pump last night. I believe the sound is not comming from the electric motor, but the impeller, like you said.

I am not sure how to get to the impeller.

this is the pump I have http://www.intheswim.com/Pool-Filter...-ground-pools/

I have tried to put my hand in the hole that sucks in the water but I can't reach in far enough.

Do I unscrew the motor?

If you disconnect the motor from the pump you should be able to get to the impeller. Judging from the photo it looks like there is bracket of sorts between them. I know on my old American Products motor there was an old fashioned circular locking bracket that seperated the motor from the pump
