Maintenance - Red Sea ReefWave Manuel D'utilisation

Maintenance

For continued, quiet and trouble-free running of the ReefWave, we
recommended a regular maintenance routine for the pump.
Impellors and Impellor cages - monthly or whenever you see a
buildup of organic matter or reduction in flow.
Switch off the pump from the App or Controller.
Disassemble the end caps, impellor cages and impellors in that order
and remove the buildup of organic matter. Hold each of the parts under
running water and clean with a small brush, especially the impellor
blades. If this does not remove all of the organics, soak the parts for
about 1 hour in a 10% bleach solution (1 part of household bleach
dissolved in 9 parts of water). Rinse the parts well after soaking. Make
sure that the ceramic tips of the impellors and the ceramic bushings in
the cages are smooth and free
from damage. Assemble the
parts temporarily as shown to
check that the impellor rotates
smoothly.
Inspect the silicone and plastic parts that connect the impellors to the
motor. These are wear-parts and may need to be replaced occasionally.
Motor and shaft - half yearly or whenever you see a reduction in
flow that was not resolved by cleaning the impellors.
Switch off the pump from the App or Controller and remove the end
caps, impellor cages and impellors.
Remove the motor from the mounting bracket and disassemble it as
follows:
Pull the plastic connectors off both ends of the ceramic shaft. This may
require the use of pliers however make sure to pull in a straight line to
avoid snapping the shaft.
Push the shaft out of the motor from the green side. Some force may be
required to release the plastic insert that holds the shaft inside the motor
assembly.
Soak all of the parts for about 1 hour in a 10% bleach solution to remove
any organics and brush clean. If there are any calcium deposits remove
them by using a 1:1 diluted solution of vinegar (nothing stronger).
