Maintenance and Inspection

• Regular maintenance and inspections are a necessity for continued efficient functioning of
the pump. If any abnormal conditions are noticed, refer to the section on Troubleshooting
and take corrective measures immediately.
Monthly Inspection / Cleaning
• Check for any drop in performance. Reduced performance is usually caused by debris
blocking the pump intake.
• Detach the power cable from the receptacle or turn off the power supply (circuit breaker).
• Disconnect the pump discharge and remove the pump from the water.
• Remove any accumulated debris from the surface of the pump and pre-filter.
• Unlock the latches on either side of the pre-filter by pulling outward from the pump handle.
Slide the pre-filter off to expose the volute. Inspect the threaded inlet on the volute and
remove any accumulated debris.
• Remove volute by rotating counterclockwise one quarter turn while pulling lightly outward
from the pump body.
• Inspect the intake O-ring for nicks or breaks.
• Inspect the impeller and remove any debris that may be present.
• A stainless steel screen located behind the impeller draws water in to cool the rotor. If the
screen becomes blocked the pump may overheat. Inspect the screen and remove any
accumulated debris.
• Spin the impeller. If the impeller is difficult to turn, feels "gritty", or a grinding noise is
evident in the rotor chamber, remove the rotor as per the instructions below.
Pre-filter
Removing the rotor
The rotor must be unlocked using the built-in wrench located on the bottom of the pre-filter
before it can be removed from the rotor chamber. Slide the impeller wrench behind the
impeller and engage two of the locking posts located on the face of the rotor. Push the
wrench tightly against the rotor face and rotate counterclockwise one quarter turn. Once
unlocked, remove the rotor by pulling the impeller outward from the pump body.
• Inspect the stainless steel rotor and the rotor chamber for built up debris. Loose debris
can be flushed out with clean water. Often in hard water, well water or pond-free
applications, debris may appear as a crusty film around the rotor and in the rotor chamber.
Remove this film using a scrub brush and white vinegar.
• Slide the rotor into the rotor chamber and lock it in place by rotating clockwise one
quarter turn.
