How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn off power and relieve system pressure before working on plumbing.
- Identify crack: Dry the Aquaflow housing and observe where water seeps out during operation.
- Temporary patch: For minor weeping, a two-part epoxy rated for pool plastics can provide a short-term fix, but is not a permanent solution.
- Replace housing: The proper repair is to replace the Aquaflow pump housing or complete wet end assembly and refit the plumbing.
