Aquaflow Imbalance or Misalignment

Pump vibrates excessively and causes pipes to shake

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Debris on impeller causing imbalance, Pump not securely mounted, Misaligned plumbing putting stress on unions, Worn motor bearings

Safety first: Turn off the pump before touching it or the plumbing.

Secure mounting: Ensure the Aquaflow pump base is firmly bolted to a solid pad.
Check plumbing support: Add pipe supports or straps to reduce stress on the pump unions.
Clean impeller: Remove the lid and basket, and flush debris from the impeller area.
Inspect bearings: If vibration is accompanied by noise, bearings may be worn and the motor should be replaced.
