Possible Causes

Eroded impeller, worn diffuser or wear ring, partially blocked internal passages, aging motor losing torque

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Isolate power before disassembly.

  • Internal inspection: Open the Onga pump wet end and inspect the impeller, diffuser, and internal passages for wear or scale buildup. Clean and descale as needed.
  • Replace worn parts: Fit a new impeller, diffuser, and wear ring if significant wear is visible.
  • Motor check: Listen for bearing noise and check current draw. An aging motor may be less efficient and benefit from replacement.

Restoring internal components often returns the pump close to original performance.
