I recently purchased this skimmer and was wondering if this thing is suppose to be loud? It’s mostly from the motor area its a constant loud hummmm. It’s way louder than all my other equipment combined. This is the third day running it and it’s obnoxious. TIA

I feel like majority of the sound may be from air inside the motor area causing some of the noise it doesn’t seem as loud when I have my finger over the air hose. I’ll pull it apart tonight and re seat everything and make sure I didn’t put it together wrong or something.
