Pump vibrates excessively and moves on the pad during operation.

Safety first: Turn off power before tightening hardware or opening the pump.

• Secure mounting: Check that the Hayward pump is firmly bolted to the equipment pad. Tighten loose bolts.
• Inspect impeller: Disassemble the wet end and clean any debris from the impeller that could cause imbalance.
• Level the pad: Ensure the equipment pad is level and stable. Shim or repair if necessary.
• Check alignment: Verify that the motor and pump housing are properly mated without stress on the joints.
