The waterfall is not working. How can I fix it?

To give you some advice about how to fix your waterfall probably you should specify your equipmente.
Now, without knowing a word about your system I guess the problme is the motor of your pump. If you have no experience repainng the electric board of a pump you should call an authorized repairmen

Spa waterfall isn't flowing

If you turn the valve to operate the waterfall feature on your spa and no water is coming out of it, my best guess would be the valve is broken and not turning to allow the water to go to the waterfall.
Pull the top of the valve off and look inside for a broken part.

More than likly it's a square flange motor. If the noise is just starting when you take the pump apart you can check the impeller for problems but the most likley is a bearing going bad from a seal leak. If you remove the wires and take the motor with the back half of the pump to a pool store they can diagnose it for you and do the nessary repairs at the shop. Usually they will do this for a small bench fee or for just the price of the nessary parts.

I have a challenger pool pump that has a very high pitch sound

The motor bearings are probably starting to fail. If you winterize the pool I would take the motor portion off the pump and have a local electric motor repair shop look at it. A simple bearing change and new pump seal would run $50 or less at most places. If not, shock the pool and run the pump overnight to balance the water and then pull the motor for the repair. It will probably only take a day or so for it to be completed.

My challenger 3/4 pump has started to sound louder and louder.

Replace the motor bearings before they fail completely and ruin the motor.

Thank you for posting your question here on Fixya.com.

Yes, it is a rather common motor available thru any local pool store and also local electric motor repair shops, whose prices are likely a little lower. A common part number for it is USQ1152 from A.O. Smith. Depending on where you shop, it may have a different number but will otherwise fit without any trouble.
