MAINTENANCE
1. Routine maintenance is required to ensure the maximum performance and the
longevity of the ViaAqua®water pump.
2. For proper operation of the water pump: clean the pump, impeller and intake
strainers every three weeks. Failure to do so will cause premature failure of the
pump.
3. Basic maintenance of the ViaAqua® pump:
a) Disconnect the water pump from the power supply prior removing the pump
from the aquarium.
b) Remove either the prelter or intake lter strainer. Rinse out prelter sponge of
all debris.
c) Remove the impeller cover.
d) Once the impeller cover is removed, slide both the impeller and shaft out of
the main body of the pump and clean well. Do not use any soap or detergents
during cleaning.
e) After the impeller and shaft are cleaned, use a small brush to clean inside of the
motor housing .
f) Reassemble above parts and your ViaAqua® pump is ready to use. Make sure
the bushing is reassembled properly. Failure to do so will cause permanent
damage to the pump.
