I keep getting my appliance filters clogged by something that looks like lint coming in from the cold water line does anyone here have any idea what this may be and how I can correct it?

Is your electric bill higher than usual?
Water pressure decreasing?

Looks to me like the pump impellers are coming in contact with the diffusers and are wearing down.

Thanks for the replies.

I have noticed a decrease in water pressure so it is probably about to quit.

This pump is only a couple of years old can't believe I am going to have to replace pumps every 2 to 3 years now. My other pump ran for 15 years no problems.

If the pump is suffering from upthrust, then it is probably the wrong pump for the job. Who chose that model? Describe the well so that the experts here can tell you what would be a better choice.
