USE ONLY HAYWARD GENUINE REPLACEMENT PARTS
12
• Open the housing cover and check for clogging or obstruction in suction. Check the impeller for debris.
• Remove and replace the shaft seal only if it is leaking.
Low Flow
• Clogged or restricted strainer or suction line. Contact a qualified repair professional.
• Undersized pool piping. Correct the piping size.
• Plugged or restricted discharge line of filter, valve partially closed (high gauge reading). Sand filters – backwash as per manufacturer’s instructions; D.E.
filters – backwash as per manufacturer’s instructions; Cartridge filters – clean or replace the cartridge.
• Air leak in suction (bubbles issuing from return fittings). Re-tighten the suction and discharge connections using PTFE tape. Inspect other plumbing con-
nections, and tighten as required.
• Plugged, restricted, or damaged impeller. Replace the impeller including a new seal assembly.
Noisy Pump
• Air leak in suction piping, cavitations caused by restricted or undersized suction line or leak at any joint, low water level in pool, and unrestricted discharge
return lines. Correct the suction condition or throttle return lines, if practical. Holding your hand over the return fitting will sometimes prove this, or by
putting in a smaller eyeball fitting.
• Vibration due to improper mounting, etc. Mount the pump on a level surface and secure the pump to the equipment pad.
• Foreign matter in the pump housing. Loose stones/debris hitting the impeller could be the cause. Clean the pump housing.
• Motor bearings noisy from normal wear, rust, overheating, or concentration of chemicals causing seal damage, which will allow chlorinated water to seep
into bearings wiping out the grease causing bearing to whine. All seal leaks should be replaced at once.
Maintenance, Storage and Winterization
Maintenance
• Clean strainer basket regularly. Do NOT strike basket to clean. Inspect strainer cover gasket regularly and replace as necessary.
• Hayward pumps have self-lubricating motor bearings and shaft seals. No lubrication is necessary.
• Keep motor clean. Insure motor air vents are free from obstruction to avoid damage. Do NOT use water to hose off motor.
• Occasionally, shaft seals must be replaced, due to wear or damage. Replace with genuine Hayward seal assembly kit.
Storage / Winterization
WARNING – Separation Hazard. Do not purge the system with compressed air. Purging the system with compressed air can cause components to explode,
with risk of severe injury or death to anyone nearby. Use only a low pressure (below 5 PSI), high volume blower when air purging the pump,
filter, or piping.
ATTENTION – Allowing the pump to freeze with water in it will void the warranty.
ATTENTION – Use ONLY propylene glycol as antifreeze in your pool/spa system. Propylene glycol is non-toxic and will not damage plastic system components;
other anti-freezes are highly toxic and may damage plastic components in the system.
• Drain all water from pump and piping when expecting freezing temperatures or when storing pump for a long time (see instructions below). Gravity drain
system as far as possible.
• Keep motor dry and covered during storage. To avoid condensation/corrosion problems, do NOT cover or wrap pump with plastic film or bags.
Winterization
• Drain water level below all inlets to the pool.
• Remove drain plugs and strainer cover from strainer housing.
• Disconnect pump from mounting pad, wiring (after power has been turned OFF), and piping.
• Once the pump is fully drained of water, re-install the strainer cover and drain plugs. Store pump in a dry area.
