Appendix 1 - Impeller Pump Inspection, Common Problems and Operation

1

A self-priming vacuum is created as the
flexible impeller vanes straighten upon

leaving the cam, drawing liquid into the pump.

2

The rotating impeller carries liquid from
the inlet to the outlet port.

As a consequence of their design, flexible
impeller pumps can pass fairly large solids.

3

When the flexible impeller vanes regain
contact with the cam, they bend and the

liquid is discharged from the pump in a 
uniform flow.

Liquids can be pumped in the opposite direc-
tion by reversing the rotation of the pump.

Operation: How an Impeller Pump Works

Shurflo recommends replacing your impeller annually. Proper storage of the impellers during a prolonged lay-up can help
maintain the life of the impeller.

Remove the impeller from the housing and store it in a cool, dark place. This will avoid the following: 

• Copper bonding of the impeller to the housing

• Vanes “setting” into position as stored in the housing

• Ultraviolet deterioration

Recommended inspection to be performed at any service interval:

Impeller    . . . . . Inspect for cracks or tears. Also, inspect for excessive abrasion of vane ends. 

Replace annually or if any of the conditions exist (see picture).

Wear Plate   . . . . Inspect for wear, flatness, and pin for fatigue. Replace at minor 

and major pump rebuild or if wear is evident to maintain 
pump flow and suction performance.

Cam   . . . . . . . . . Replace at major pump rebuild or if pitting/wear is evident.

Cover   . . . . . . . . Replace at major pump rebuild or if wear exists to maintain 

pump flow and suction performance.

Mechanical Seal

Replace at minor and major pump rebuild or if leaking.

Lip Seal   . . . . . . Replace at minor and major pump rebuild or if leaking.

Shaft  . . . . . . . . . Inspect for wear in area of lip seal and rubber impeller. Grooving of 

lip seal area or heavy fretting of the impeller end shaft will require shaft replacement.

Bearing   . . . . . . Inspect for loss of grease, corrosion or rough rotation. Replace at major pump rebuild 

or if in doubt.

Three tips to help you install your new Shurflo impeller:

• Use a non-petroleum-based lubricant (silicone or soapy water) to help slide the impeller into the housing.

• Install the impeller with a twisting motion onto the shaft. Never force an impeller onto the shaft.

• Impeller must be able to move freely on the shaft to properly prime and function.

(Use a small amount of non-petroleum-based lubricant to help hold the o-ring or gasket when replacing the cover.)
