How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn off power and relieve system pressure before inspecting or replacing components.
- Assess extent of damage: Inspect the Emaux pump housing, seal plate, and motor end bells for cracks, severe rust, or deformation.
- Check for leaks: Any crack that leaks under pressure requires immediate attention; do not operate the pump with a leaking housing.
- Replace damaged parts: Replace the cracked pump housing or seal plate with genuine Emaux parts. If the motor frame is heavily corroded, replace the motor assembly.
- Prevent recurrence: Provide shade or a weather cover and maintain proper water chemistry to reduce future damage.
Structural failures can lead to sudden leaks or electrical hazards; address them promptly.
