Service and Maintenance
Routine Maintenance
This pump requires little or no service other than reasonable care and periodic cleaning of the strainer
basket.
1. Inspect the pump basket for debris by looking through the clear pump lid.
2. Turn off the power to the pump. If the pump is located below the water level, close isolation valves on
the suction and discharge sides of the pump to prevent back flow of water.
3. Remove any debris, because as the debris accumulates, it will begin to block the flow of water
through the pump. Keep the basket clean and clear to improve the performance of the pump.
4. Turn the lid’s lock ring counter clockwise until it stops. Carefully remove the lid and lock ring.
5. Remove the basket and properly dispose of the debris into the trash and rinse out the basket. Check
basket for cracks, if crack is found replace basket.
6. Replace basket back into the pump, align the basket properly with the suction pipe. Then fill with
water up to the suction pipe. Clean clear cover, lid o-ring and sealing surface of the pump of any debris.
Used when vacuuming the pool or operating the spa jets or some water features
such as water falls.
Used for gentle spa jet action, or filtration for the pool.
Recommended for everyday filtration of your pool. (This speed will achieve the
lowest operating costs with the lowest noise level.)
10. If the power is turned off to the pump, it will repeat this process. (See number 6)
11. If the pump does not prime and all the instructions to this point have been followed, check for a suction
leak. If there is a leak repeat Steps 2 through 6.
