6.3  Service Technician Maintenance

 WARNING

This pump must be serviced by a professional 

service technician qualified in pool/spa installation. 

The following procedures must be followed exactly. 

Improper installation and/or operation can create 

dangerous electrical hazards, which can cause high 

voltages to run through the electrical system. This can 

cause property damage, serious personal injury, and/

or death. Improper installation and/or operation will 

void the warranty.

6.3.1  Blocked Impeller

 WARNING

Before servicing the pump, switch off the circuit 

breakers at the power source. Severe personal 

injury or death may occur if the pump starts while 

your hand is inside the pump.

1. 

Turn off the pump. Switch off the circuit 

breaker to the pump motor. 

2. 

Remove the lid and basket.

3. 

Look inside the pump for debris. Remove any 

debris found inside.

4. 

Replace the basket and lid.

5. 

Switch on the circuit breaker to the pump motor.

6. 

Turn on the pump, and see if the problem is 

solved.

7. 

If the impeller is still blocked with debris and 

it is not possible to remove the debris using 

Steps 2 through 4, the pump will need to be 

disassembled in order to access the inlet and 

outlet of the impeller.

6.3.2  Impeller Removal and Replacement

 WARNING

Before servicing the pump, switch off the circuit 

breakers at the power source. Severe personal 

injury or death may occur if the pump starts while 

your hand is inside the pump.

1. 

Turn off the pump. Switch off the circuit 

breaker to the pump motor. If you are not 

replacing the motor, do not disconnect the 

electrical wiring.

NOTE

  If you are replacing the motor, Zodiac Pool Systems, 

Inc. strongly recommends that a qualified service 

technician or electrician properly disconnect the 

electrical wiring at the pump motor. 

2. 

Turn off any valves to prevent pool water from 

reaching the pump. Drain the water from the 

pump by loosening the unions or removing the 

drain plugs. 

3. 

Using a 9/16” wrench, loosen the bolts connecting 

the pump body to the motor backplate. See Figure 

13.

4. 

Pull the motor and backplate out of the pump 

body. Remove the pump body o-ring. The 

impeller is connected to the motor shaft.

5. 

Using a No. 1 Phillips screwdriver, remove 

the two (2) screws holding the diffuser. (The 

diffuser is the cover over the impeller.) Then 

remove the diffuser (See Figure 14).

6. 

Access the inlet and outlet of the impeller and 

remove any debris.
