Maintenance Tips

• Regular Inspections: Check for any unusual noises, leaks, or signs of wear in the pump, especially around the flange connections.

• Flush the System: To ensure smooth operation, regularly flush your system to remove debris and prevent blockages that can impact the pump’s performance.

• Monitor Speed Settings: Keep an eye on the variable speed setting to ensure it’s correctly maintaining the desired setpoint temperature. Adjust as needed for optimal efficiency.

• Cartridge Maintenance: The pump’s field-serviceable cartridge should be inspected periodically. If the pump’s performance declines, replace the cartridge rather than the entire pump.

• Electrical Safety: Always disconnect power to the pump before performing any maintenance or repairs.

• Check for Condensation: Ensure the anti-condensate baffle is functioning to prevent moisture from accumulating on motor windings in chilled water systems.

• Seal and Gasket Checks: Ensure the seals and gaskets around the pump are intact to avoid leaks and maintain efficient operation.
