Section 5.  Service and 

Maintenance

5.1  Routine Maintenance

 WARNING

To avoid risk of property damage, severe personal 

injury or death, verify that all power is turned off 

before starting this procedure.

Inspect the pump debris tray basket for debris by 

looking through the clear pump lid. Remove any debris, 

because as debris accumulates, it will begin to block the 

flow of water through the pump. Keep the basket clean 

to improve the performance of the pump.

1. 

Turn off the power to the pump. If the pump 

is located below the water level, close the 

isolation valves on the suction and discharge 

sides of the pump to prevent backflow of water. 

2. 

Turn the lid’s locking ring counter-clockwise 

until ‘START’ aligns with the ports. Carefully 

remove the lid. (A tool may used for leverage.)

CAUTION

A misaligned basket will cause the lid to be 

improperly seated, allowing an air leak, which could 

result in pump damage. 

3. 

Lift the basket out of the pump.

4. 

Dispose of the debris and thoroughly clean 

the basket, making sure all the holes are open. 

Using a garden hose, spray the basket from the 

outside to help clear the holes. Remove any 

remaining debris by hand.

5. 

Replace the basket in the pump by aligning 

the opening with the suction pipe. If aligned 

properly, the basket will drop easily into place. 

Do not force it into place.

6. 

Remove the lid seal and remove debris around 

the lid seal seat, as this can allow air to leak into 

the system. Clean the lid seal and place it on the 

lid.

7. 

Replace the lid with locking ring. 

Hand-tighten

 

the lid to make an air-tight seal. Do not use any 

tools to tighten the lid: 

hand-tighten only.

8. 

Verify that all valves have been returned to the 

proper position for normal operation.

9. 

Open the pressure release valve on the filter, 

and make sure it is clean and ready for 

operation. 

10.  Turn on the power to the pump. Once all the 

air has been evacuated from the filter, close the 

pressure release valve.

Zodiac Group Australia Pty Ltd strongly recommends 

that you call a qualified service technician to perform 

any repairs on the filter/pump system. To locate a
