  If your OKU Obermaier Swimming Pool Pump isn't running, first, use another appliance to check the power outlet and inspect the fuse box or circuit breaker. A blown fuse could also be the culprit, so check and replace it if needed. The automatic thermal overload might have tripped; in that case, switch off the pump, let the motor cool, and then switch it back on, ensuring adequate ventilation. Also, make sure the pump isn't jammed with debris and that the motor shaft spins freely. Low voltage could also be a factor.

  Marvin SmithAug 14, 2025
  If your OKU Obermaier Swimming Pool Pump is operating with reduced or no flow, it could be due to several reasons. The motor might be burnt out because of a voltage spike or water damage, potentially requiring replacement. Another cause could be a dirty filter, which needs cleaning as described in the Filtration Set manual. Air in the system can also cause this issue; re-prime the pump and check for air leaks in hoses, connections, and the filtration set. Finally, ensure the water level in your pool is above the water outlet.

How to fix an OKU Obermaier Swimming Pool Pump leaking from the casing?

  If your OKU Obermaier Swimming Pool Pump is leaking from between the casing and the motor, it could be due to loose casing bolts, a worn casing O-ring, or a faulty mechanical seal. To address this, switch off the pump and loosen the casing bolts. Inspect the alignment and condition of the casing O-ring before retightening the bolts. If the leak persists, replace the O-ring. You may also need to replace the mechanical seal and lip seal, if fitted.
