1. Clean strainer basket regularly. Do not strike basket to clean. Inspect
strainer cover gasket regularly and replace as necessary.
2. SwimPro pumps have self-lubricating motor bearings and shaft seals.
No lubrication is necessary.
3. Keep motor clean. Ensure air vents are free from obstruction.
4. Occasionally, shaft seals must be replaced, due to wear or damage.
See instructions.
GENERAL
Exercise extreme care in handling and installing the new
seal and ceramic seat assembly.
The lapped and polished surfaces may easily be damaged
by dirt or scratching.
For safety, all service must be performed with
all power shut off.
Remove pump and motor assembly from piping system.
Remove pump housing cover (with strainer attached) by removing
the seven (7) housing bolts and nuts which fasten housing cover
to pump housing. The impeller is now exposed.
To remove impeller, insert screwdriver in slot at end of motor.*
Hold screwdriver so as to keep shaft from turning, and rotate the
impeller in a counterclockwise direction. The spring portion of the
seal assembly is now exposed.
Note carefully the position of the spring seal and pull it off the
impeller.
To remove the stationary (ceramic seat) part of the seal assembly:
a. Loosen the four (4) motor securing bolts and
disengage the motor from the pump housing.
b. With motor removed, press the clear plastic and
ceramic seat assembly out of the pump housing
recess. If tight, tap lightly from the “motor” side.
Clean and lubricate the impeller hub shaft and pump housing seal
recess with a dilute solution of non-granulated liquid-type soap.
Gently wipe the polished face of the new ceramic seat with a soft,
dry cotton cloth.
Press the new spring portion of the assembly onto the impeller,
black polished surface facing away from the impeller.
Carefully press ceramic seat, with O-ring, into clear plastic seat
retainer--polished surface facing out. Be sure O-ring is in place on cut
ridge of clear plastic retainer. Press plastic retainer, with ceramic seat
inside, into recess of pump housing--O-ring end first. Replace the
assembly firmly and evenly.
Carefully insert the motor shaft through the seat assembly and
secure motor to pump housing with four (4) motor securing bolts.
(Be sure motor base is positioned properly.)
Screw the impeller, with spring seal, onto the motor shaft, hand
tight, by turning clockwise.
Clean rubber gasket (replace if necessary) and fasten housing cover
to pump housing with seven (7) bolts and nuts. Tighten bolts and
nuts alternately and evenly.
Reconnect pump to piping system. Be sure to fill stainer with water
before restarting.
A separate electrical circuit, utilizing a rating as above, is recommended.
*For A.O. Smith Canopy Motors: Remove motor end cover and carefully apply wrench to flat on motor shaft to hold shaft from turning.
