How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off power and close valves before opening the pump.

  • Check for air leaks: Look for air bubbles under the pump lid and at return jets. Tighten suction unions and replace the lid O-ring if needed.
  • Clean impeller: Remove the pump housing and inspect the impeller eye and vanes. Use a small brush or wire to clear any debris lodged in the passages.
