6. Maintenance / Cleaning
Caution:
Disconnect the power before you start any work on the pump.
The pump is designed to have a low maintenance requirement and, under normal conditions, will
be very reliable. However, the filter housing and all rotating parts must be cleaned regularly (1 to
5).
Remove the pipe connections and undo the bayonet (6) on the pump housing. Now, remove the
suction connection (7).
Caution:
This part is fixed tightly because it has an “O” ring seal and must
be removed carefully so as not to break the ceramic shaft (4).
The complete impeller (4 - 7) can now be taken out, cleaned under running water and be re-
assembled.
7. Failures
If the pump fails to operate, check the power connection and fuse. If no fault is found, the pump
may be blocked and must be cleaned – see maintenance / cleaning above. If the pump is noisy,
the pump head (1 to 8) has to be cleaned.
