Installation Notes
- Always apply grease to a new impeller before installation. This lubricates the impeller, makes it easier to install, and provides protection during initial dry prime.
- After installing the new impeller, the pump may need up to 30 seconds to prime. Do not run the pump dry for longer, as the lack of liquid will damage the neoprene blades.
- Ensure all suction hose connections are airtight. Air leaks will prevent the pump from self-priming effectively.
Troubleshooting & FAQ
How do I know when to replace my impeller?
An impeller is at the end of its normal service life when pieces of its blades are missing, the blades are permanently and excessively curved, or there are cracks appearing about halfway up the blade height.
What are the signs of premature impeller failure?
Hard, polished, or cracked end faces indicate the pump has been run dry. Missing impeller blades suggest severe dry running. If pieces are missing from only the blade tips, this often points to cavitation (air leaks in the suction line).
What should I do before installing the new impeller?
Always grease the new impeller before installation using a suitable lubricant. This simplifies insertion into the pump housing and provides crucial protection for the impeller during the initial prime cycle before water flow is established.
