Possible Causes
Damaged or unbalanced impeller, Pump not securely mounted to base, Misaligned plumbing putting stress on pump ports
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn off power before tightening mounts or adjusting plumbing.
- Check mounting: Ensure the AquaJet pump base is firmly bolted to a solid pad. Tighten loose mounting bolts.
- Inspect impeller: Open the pump housing and check the impeller for missing pieces or heavy buildup on one side. Replace if damaged.
- Support plumbing: Add pipe supports or hangers so that the weight of the plumbing is not pulling on the pump unions.
- Re‑test: After corrections, run the pump and observe. Persistent severe vibration may indicate internal motor issues requiring replacement.
