11. Remove the riser hose and elbow.
12. Remove the strainer cover from the front of the
pump. To do this, firmly hold the motor with one
hand and pull the cover away from the motor.
13. Remove the impeller cover. To unlock it, turn
it clockwise (Aquatica 160) or anti-clockwise
(Aquatica 240) and carefully pull away.
14. Grasp the impeller blades and gently pull the
impeller from the impeller chamber. Take care not
to break the impeller shaft.
A pair of clean needle nose pliers can make this
step easier.
15. Clean impeller and shaft under warm running
water. Do not use soap or detergent. Remove the
rubber end caps and ceramic shaft and run clean
water through the hole in the centre of the impeller.
Be careful not to lose the smaller parts.
16. Use an Aqua One double ended pipe brush to
clean the impeller chamber thoroughly. (refer to
diagram below)
DO NOT USE AN ABRASIVE MATERIAL TO
CLEAN THE PUMP COMPONENTS.
17. Please ensure the impeller chamber is free
from debris before reassembling the pump, failure
to do so could damage your pump.
18. Ensure both rubber end caps are in the correct
position. If they do not come out when the impeller
is removed one should be in the impeller chamber
and the other in the impeller cover. Failure to
position them correctly may result in your pump
being damaged.

19. Do not force the unit back together as the
ceramic shaft may break. If it does not reassemble
easily check the position of the rubber end caps,
ceramic shaft and impeller.

Sponge. Rinse under tap water to remove any
built up which may have accumulated on it. If the

recommend that an aquarium safe lubricant such
as AquaLube is used to lubricate the O-ring on the
impeller cover.
