6. Maintenance
The pump hose and motor are consumables and have to be maintained and changed regularly.
Pump hose: The pump hose has a lifetime of approx. 3 million compressions and after this, it must
be replaced. If the pump is operated continuously, the hose should be changed every 3 – 4
months. We recommend using only an original Aqua Medic spare pump hose assembly which is
supplied complete with fittings.
Grease: Before the hose is installed, it has to be greased. The pump will only operate properly if
the hose is effectively greased. Please only grease the hose, not the housing.
Motor: During continuous operation, the motor may heat up as high as 70°C. This is normal and
has no effect on performance or life. However, too little grease on the pump hose may cause
malfunction of the motor and overheating.
Drive wheel with rollers: The plastic drive wheel and the rollers are designed for a long life.
Nevertheless, it may become necessary to change the assembly which could be done the following
way:
Remove the pump hose by pushing the fittings out of the housing. The drive wheel can now be
pulled off the shaft as it is a pressed fitting.
Motor: The motor has a lifetime of >10,000 hours. To replace the motor, remove the drive wheel
assembly. Undo the 4 screws of the front of the pump. Now, remove the pump housing. Undo the
power cable connection from the connector block and remove the 2 screws securing the motor to
the housing.
To fit the new motor, reverse the above process.
Safety instructions
The pump may only be used indoors. Before undertaking any work on the pump,
disconnect the power plug from the mains.
