TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
Read and understand safety and operating instructions in this manual
before doing any work on pump!
Only qualified personnel should electrically test pump motor!
FAILURE TO PUMP; REDUCED CAPACITY OR DISCHARGE PRESSURE
Suction leaks/lost prime:
1. Pump must be primed; make sure that main pool pump is running.
See priming instructions, Page 7.
2. Make sure there are no leaks in suction piping.
Clogged pipe/trap/impeller, worn impeller:
1. Make sure impeller is not clogged (follow steps 1 through 7 under
“Removing Old Seal”, Page 8; check impeller for clogging; follow steps
7 through 11 under “Installing New Seal”, Page 9, for reassembly).
2. Impeller and diffuser may be worn. If so, order replacement parts from
Repair Parts List, Page 10.
Electrical:
1. Pump may be running too slowly; check voltage at motor terminals and
at meter while pump is running. If low, see wiring instructions or consult
power company. Check for loose connections.
2. Pump may be too hot.
A. Check line voltage; if less than 90% or more than 110% of rated
voltage consult a licensed electrician.
B. Increase ventilation.
Mechanical Troubles and Noise:
1. If suction and discharge piping are not adequately supported, pump
assembly will be strained. See “Installation”, Page 4.
2. Do not mount pump on a wooden platform! Securely mount on con-
crete platform for quietest performance.
