The impeller well has an effective self-cleaning feature. However it is recommended that you remove the motor and
inspect the impeller as part of your routine maintenance. Keeping the impeller clean lengthens its life and the life of the
motor. Prior to performing pump care the FX6 Filter must be completely emptied of water, media baskets, and media.
1. To remove the pump unit:
A. Place the filter unit upside down on a secure work area so that the pump
screws and screw seats are visible. Remember that the output tube protrudes
slightly from the top rim of the canister. Be sure not to bend or damage the tube
while it is upside down.
B. Unscrew the 4 fixing screws using a Phillips screwdriver (cross headed).
Screws are located around the motor housing.
C. Remove the impeller assembly by grasping its flange (black disc).
2. Clean the impeller and the impeller well thoroughly by rinsing with clear
running water.
3. Re-assemble all pump components with care:
D. Align the two arrows on the impeller assembly. Before inserting the
impeller, gently press the magnet against the flange to be sure that the flange
bushing is fully in its seat.
E. Replace seal ring if necessary. Please refer to the Maintenance Frequen-
cy Chart.
4. Re-attach the pump unit to the canister using the 4 fixing screws with a
Phillips screwdriver (cross headed). While re-assembling the pump, the 4 fixing
screws should be gently screwed until pump motor cover and canister are securely
attached. Note: Do not over tighten housing to canister.
IMPORTANT: Be sure that impeller bearing (bushing and O-Ring) is correctly
placed at the bottom of the impeller well. Though the bushing is made of
very resistant material, it is prone to wearing in certain conditions. For this
reason, it is recommended that you replace it whenever the impeller unit
is replaced. Follow the instructions provided with the replacement parts
package. For any details, please refer to the Maintenance Frequency Chart.
IMPORTANT: Be sure that the seal ring does not slip between the impeller
flange and the motor and that the impeller bearing (bushing and O-Ring) is
correctly placed at the bottom of the impeller well.
