    Did you inspect the impeller? I doubt the service tech did.

    I did not inspect the impeller yet. I'm concerned about voiding my warranty. At the same time, if I have them open it up and they find debris from my pool in the impeller, then maybe I'll have to pay for the service call and labor. But shouldn't the basket prevent any debris from entering the impeller that it can't spit out?

    I'll make you the same offer I made another user -- take a video of the pump running, on low and high, and send it to me (poolforum@gmail.com). It's much easier to get an idea of what your dealing with, if we've got both sight and sound.
