Maintenance
Clean strainer basket regularly. Do NOT strike basket to clean. Inspect strainer cover gasket regularly
and replace as necessary.
Hayward pumps have self-lubricating motor bearings and shaft seals. No lubrication is necessary.
Keep motor clean. Insure motor air vents are free from obstruction to avoid damage. Do NOT use
water to hose off motor.
Occasionally, shaft seals must be replaced, due to wear or damage. Replace with genuine Hayward seal
assembly kit. See “Shaft Seal Change Instructions” in this manual.
8.
Storage
WARNING – Separation Hazard.
Do not purge the system with compressed air. Purging the
system with compressed air can cause components to explode, with risk of severe injury or death to
anyone nearby. Use only a low pressure (below 5 PSI), high volume blower when air purging the pump,
filter, or piping.
ATTENTION
– Allowing the pump to freeze with water in it will void the warranty.
ATTENTION
– If the Hayward LifeStar® VS Pump is used in any application other than an
Aquatic Animal Life Support set up, ONLY use propylene glycol as antifreeze in your water system if
required. Propylene glycol is non-toxic and will not damage plastic system components; other anti-
freezes are highly toxic and may damage plastic components in the system.
Drain all water from pump and piping when expecting freezing temperatures or when storing pump for a
long time (see instructions below). Gravity drain system as far as possible.
Keep motor dry and covered during storage. To avoid condensation/corrosion problems, do NOT cover
or wrap pump with plastic film or bags.
USE ONLY HAYWARD GENUINE REPLACEMENT PARTS
