MAINTENANCE
1. Turn off your pump and disconnect from the electrical source by unplugging or turning off the breaker.
2. If you have a ball valve placed at the return side of your pump, be sure to close the valve to prevent backflow.
3. Remove the black clamp ring by holding the tabs and turning the clamp ring counter clockwise. Take care if the clamp ring is too tight.
Slightly bumping the tabs may aid in releasing the grip. Remove the lid and clean out the basket. It is recommended to clean out the basket
using a sprayer on a garden hose and a brush as needed. Do not hit the basket on any hard surface as this will weaken and damage the basket.
4. Reinstall the basket so that the tab under the basket locks in place.
5. Fill volute (basket section) with water.
6. Replace the lid securely.
7. Open ball valve (if present).
8. Connect power and start the pump.
1. If the pump is still under warranty, contact EasyPro Pond Products to obtain a return authorization and ship the pump to us for repair.
2. Contact an electric motor repair center near you. Note that this option may not honor any warranty but may provide a good alternative.
3. If you are mechanically minded, the option to order bearings and a seal kit from EasyPro Pond Products is available.
Cleaning the basket:
Seals and Bearings:
The strainer basket in the volute should be inspected and cleaned at least one (1) time per week, more often if excessive debris
is present in the operating environment.
Pump seals and bearings experience normal wear and degrade over time. It is recommended to change pump seals every three (3) to four (4)
years for fresh water applications and every year for salt water applications. The frequency of replacement will be determinate upon environ-
ment and water quality. If leakage is noticed at anytime, check troubleshooting tips and contact us for parts and advice. If the pump becomes
abnormally noisy, this could be a sign that the bearings are failing and need replacement. There are a few options for repair when this occurs.
WARNING:
If the pump has been running with no incoming water flow for more than three (3) mintues, it is
important to IMMEDIATELY turn the pump off by disconnecting the unit from the power supply. If the volute
(main pump housing) is hot, allow the pump a minimum of one hour or more to cool before opening the lid.
The volute housing (strainer pot) should be cool to the touch before opening.
DANGER OF BURNS COULD OCCUR IF OPENED WHEN STILL HOT.
