Pahlén pool pump vibrates excessively and moves on its mounting base

Safety first: Turn off power before touching the pump or motor. Excessive vibration can cause plumbing damage.

• Check mounting: Ensure the Pahlén pump is securely bolted to a solid, level base. Tighten mounting bolts as needed.
• Inspect impeller: Open the wet end and remove any debris from the impeller that could cause imbalance.
• Check shaft runout: Rotate the shaft by hand and observe for wobble. A bent shaft requires motor replacement.
• Re-align unions: Loosen unions, allow the pump to sit naturally, then retighten to avoid stress on the housing.
