CHECK
Inspect trap basket, and empty of any
leaves and other debris. Leaves and other
debris that collects in basket will choke off
water flow through the pump and reduce
efficiency and performance. See below
instructions on cleaning the trap.
Check the pump to ensure no water is
leaking from inlet and outlet joints, whilst
pump is operating. If leaks are noticed,
clean and grease the o-rings or replace if
necessary.
Clean area around pump and ensure there
are no leaves or debris which could
become a fire hazard or choke the motor
fan.
Check that there are no leaks from under
the pump. If there are, this could be a
sign of a leaking mechanical seal. Call
a Pentair Service Agent immediately, to
prevent damage to the motor.
Check pump and motor for insects and
pest infestations and ensure that motor
fins are clean of dust and dirt. Clean if
necessary.
Follow instructions below to clean trap:
1. Switch off power to pump, close valves in suction and discharge, and release all pressure from system
before proceeding.
2. Remove trap cover (turn counter clockwise). If necessary, tap handles gently with a rubber mallet.
3. Remove strainer basket and clean. Ensure all holes in basket are clear, flush basket with water
and replace in trap with large opening at pipe connection port (between ribs provided). If basket is
replaced backwards, the cover will not fit on trap body. To clean transparent cover, use water and
neutral soap only. Do not use solvents.
4. Clean and inspect lid o-ring; reinstall on trap. Clean O-ring groove on trap body and replace cover. To
help keep cover from sticking, tighten hand tight only.
5. Prime pump (refer priming instructions).
