Maintenance Tips

• Visual Inspection: Check regularly for leaks, rust, or unusual noise. Address any issues promptly to avoid system downtime.

• System Parameters: Keep system within pump limits—max flow 52 GPM, max head 14.5 ft, temps from 40°F–230°F, and max pressure 125 PSI.

• Cartridge Care: If performance drops, replace the cartridge (contains all moving parts) instead of the whole pump.

• Seal Check: Inspect O-rings and gaskets for wear. Replace if cracked or deformed to prevent leaks.

• Electrical Check: Confirm secure wiring and proper voltage (115V). Look for signs of overheating or corrosion.

• Pump Orientation: Ensure the motor is installed horizontally to prevent bearing wear and ensure proper lubrication.

• Debris Control: Make sure system water is clean. Install strainers if necessary to prevent internal damage.

• Run Periodically: Run the pump occasionally during off-seasons to keep internal parts moving freely.
