MAINTENANCE
Lubrication
Motor - Permanently Lubricated ball bearings - no service required.
Rotary Seal - Requires no lubrication after assembly.
Symptom Problem Resolution
No Flow
Insufcient Prime Prime system with water and purge all air from suction piping.
Install non return valve.
Insufcient Power Verify power supply and connection from panel to pump.
Verify proper voltage. Some models are dual voltage (115/230).
Flow Restriction
Ensure valves are open.
Ensure plumbing is clear, including suction strainers, check valves, etc.
Verify non return valve orientation and direction of permitted ow.
Clean out leaves or other debris from basket strainer (if applicable).
Air leak Fix air leaks at ttings, connections, strainer basket etc. This typically occurs on the intake side.
System Incompatibility Verify hydraulic compatibility: i.e. pump & pipe are sized for the system.
Low Flow

Cavitation
Verify airtight plumbing on the suction plumbing especially ttings!
Clean out leaves or other debris from basket strainer (if applicable).
Increase pipe size where possible.
Decrease suction pipe length, reduce the number of elbows, etc.
Verify hydraulic compatibility: i.e. pump and pipe are sized for the system.
Sporadic Operation Insufcient Power Verify power supply and connection from panel to pump.
Verify proper voltage. Some models are dual voltage (115/230).
Poor Ventilation Ensure adequate airow over motor to prevent overheating.
Excessive Noise

*The pump must be drained before servicing or if stored below
freezing temperatures. Periodic replacement of seals may be
required due to normal carbon wear.
