Periodic Service
Inspect and test the pump system condition and operation each year.
1. Check the power cords and electrical outlet for damage or corrosion.
IMPORTANT: The unit must be replaced if the power cord is damaged.
2. Remove all debris (gravel, sand, floating debris, etc.) from the basin.
3. Check the pump system components (basin, pump, etc.) for any build-up (sludge, sediment, miner-
als, etc.) that would inhibit functionality of the components, and clean as required.
• If significant, replace affected components.
4. Confirm that all plumbing fixtures are secure, not damaged, and functioning as intended.
5. Test operation of the pump system. Refer to “
Operation Testing” on page 5.
Cleaning Impeller and Volute
1. Disconnect power to the pump.
2. Remove the bolts that hold the volute to the motor housing.
3. Separate the volute from the motor housing.
IMPORTANT: Do not remove the motor housing bolts or screws.
4. Clean the impeller and the volute passage.
5. Be sure the impeller turns freely.
6. Reattach the volute to the motor housing, securing it with the bolts.
Risk of severe injury or death by electrical shock, high
temperatures, or pressurized fluids.
• Always unplug the pump power cord in addition to removing the fuse or shutting off the circuit breaker before
working on the pump or switch.
• Let pump cool for a minimum of 2 hours before attempting to service. Submersible pumps contain oil that
becomes pressurized and hot under normal operating conditions.
Risk of damage to pump or other equipment.
