Thanks, Mark. I should have made it clear that the noise itself was likely to be in the pump, but that the restriction that caused the noise can be elsewhere.

Re: Pump Problems
OK.
I don't know what the problem is. The piping is not great, so you could try operating on skimmer only, and see if that causes the pump to run more quietly.
Also, the pump itself looks pretty old - some types of pump wear can cause noise, as can trash caught in the impeller. But, some of those old pumps were pretty noisy when they were new.

Thanks, Mark. I'd failed to update their access; I'll let them know that's no longer the case.
