PUMP MAINTENANCE
WINTERIZATION
• The pump requires little to no maintenance other than reasonable care and cleaning
of the strainer basket on a regular basis. The pump is equipped with a mechanical
seal. This seal may eventually come loose of a period of time, depending on running
time and water quality. If water continually leaks out, a new mechanical seal should
be installed.
• The pump is equipped with a rubber gasket that seals the strainer basket lid. This
gasket should be lubricated with water proof lubricant
(O-RING LUBE) to ensure proper seal and extend gasket life.
The gasket becomes cracked or worn (flattened) is will become necessary to replace.
• In areas subject to freezing temperatures, it is recommended that the
pump be disconnected and stored indoors in a warm and dry location.
Remove the drain plugs from the pump housing and place them in the
strainer basket for storage.
