  If your Hayward Power Pump has low flow: * Correct the piping size. * If you have sand, D.E. or Cartridge filters - backwash as per manufacturer’s instructions or clean/replace the cartridge. * Re-tighten the suction and discharge connections using PTFE tape if there is an air leak in suction (bubbles issuing from return fittings). Inspect other plumbing connections, and tighten as required. * If the impeller is plugged, restricted, or damaged, replace the impeller including a new seal assembly.

  A noisy Hayward Power Pump may be due to several reasons: * Try correcting the suction condition or throttling return lines, if practical. * Ensure the pump is mounted on a level surface and securely fastened to the equipment pad. * Clean the pump housing. * If motor bearings are noisy due to normal wear, rust, overheating, or chemical concentration causing seal damage, all seal leaks should be replaced at once.

How to prime Hayward Power Pump?
- J
  John WalkerNov 3, 2025
  To prime your Hayward Power Pump, follow these steps: 1. Ensure the pump/strainer housing is filled with water and the cover o-ring is clean. 2. Make sure the o-ring is properly seated in the cover o-ring groove and lubricated with “Jack’s 327” to create a tighter seal. Lock the strainer cover firmly in position. 3. Tighten any loose pipe/union connections on the suction side. 4. Inspect valves for leaking O-rings or packing glands; tighten, repair, or replace the valves as needed. 5. Clean the strainer basket or skimmer basket if loaded with debris, and refill the strainer housing with water. Tighten the cover. 6. Check for air leaks in the suction piping, re-check the strainer housing cover and all threaded connections for suction leaks, and ensure all system hose clamps are tight...
