Pump works fine, but is very loud

I have a splash pool with a Sta-rite pump. Last summer was it's 3rd season and the pump worked fine, but had gotten very loud by the end of the summer. I thought maybe it needed lubricating or some other type of maintence before we start up the pool this year. Any suggestions?

Its probably not a high quality pump, bearings starting to wear is likely the sound you hear.

Sta-Rite 400 Pool Heater. It shows code 337. The heater is working fine but starts itself when pump goes on.

Question edited for clarity.
Question moved to correct category.

There is a video in the link that promises the codes, but it might be clickbait and an empty promise.

Motor is making a loud noise when running

Probably a failing bearing in your motor. It can probably be repaired by your professional pool supply or a electric motor repair shop in your town. The question would be how long it will take them to get your motor back to you. You may want to ignore the noise until the end of your swim season, if you can. Another option is to replace the motor.

I hope this helps you ... thanks for your interest in FixYa.com

I have a P6RA6f-2006L Sta-Rite pump for my pool. I just opened the pool and run the pump for about 6 days continuously. And the pump stopped some time today. When I turn it on, I heard loud sound but...

More than likely, the bearings are going out on the motor. Usually you'll hear a loud screeching sound when this happens. You have 2 choices here. You can either take the pump to a local repair shop and have the bearings replaced, or you can replace the motor and pump seal. By replacing the bearings only, you're not guaranteed that the motor will last much longer. I always recommend replacing the motor and seal that way you'll be trouble-free for another 4-6 years.
