MAINTENANCE
THE PUMP STRAINER BASKET
The unit, often referred to as the "Hair and Lint Pot," is situated in front of the volute. Inside this
chamber, you'll find a basket that must be kept clean at all times to prevent leaves and debris
buildup. To inspect the basket for leaves and debris, use the "See Through Lid."
No matter the time between filter cleaning, it is essential to visually examine the hair and lint pot
basket at least once a week. A clogged basket reduces both the filter and heater efficiency and
places additional stress on the pump motor.
INSTRUCTIONS:
• Turn off the pump.
• Close the valves in the suction and outlet pipes.
• Relieve the pressure in the system.
• Turn the lid in a counterclockwise direction until it stops.
• Continue turning the lid to remove it completely.
• Dispose of the debris from the basket into the trash and
rinse the basket. Replace the basket if it's cracked.
• Reinstall the basket, ensuring that the slot aligns with the rib
in the volute.
• Fill the pump pot and volute up to the inlet port with water.
CLEANING THE PUMP STRAINER BASKET
If the pump has been running dry, DO NOT open the strainer pot. This applies if
the pump fails to prime or has been operating without water in the strainer pot.
Such pumps may encounter a vapor pressure buildup and contain scalding hot
water. Opening the pump under these circumstances could result in severe
personal injury. To mitigate this risk, make sure the suction and discharge valves
are open, and the temperature of the strainer pot is cool to the touch before
attempting any action, proceeding to open it with extreme caution.
To prevent damage to the pump and filter and ensure proper operation of the system, clean the
pump strainer and skimmer baskets regularly.
