Pool Pump Pounding

We awoke today to hear our pool pump go on and start pounding ... similar to what I imagine indoor plumbing pipes might sound like with air in the pipes. Along with the pounding, the unit was vibrating ... Pressure gauge was at about 20 ... Our "troubleshooting guide" listed noise issues from the pump described as "screeching", but nothing about "pounding". We shut off the pump ... Any suggestions as to what we should do to further diagnose the problem?
Thank you for any assistance!

New pool, need mtce tips

OK I got the pool installed and a week and half later we finnaly got the filter running. ( small traces of green) I figured out I have 3,253 gallons of water (12' round). I need to shock the pool. The package says it has no chlorine in the shock. can I add chlorine at the same time? How long should I run the filter? How critical is the measurements of chlorine and chemicals? do I have to be exact to the smallest increment or can it be "close"? Thanks in advance Dan NJ
