• Inspect the magnetic rotor and the rotor chamber for built-up debris. Loose debris can be
flushed out with clean water. Often in hard water, well water or pond-free applications,
debris may appear as a crusty film around the rotor and in the rotor chamber. Remove
this film using a scrub brush and white vinegar.
• Inspect the intake O-ring for nicks or breaks.
• Re-assemble the impeller and insert it into the rotor chamber. Hold on to the impeller
tightly. The impeller assembly is magnetized and without resistance, can be drawn
forcefully into the rotor chamber, damaging the ceramic shaft.
• Attach the threaded inlet by applying pressure and rotating it in a clockwise half turn.
• Replace the pre-filter.
Winterizing
• Under no circumstances should the pump be left in frozen water.
• When the pump is out of use for an extended period, wash it and dry it thoroughly, then
store it indoors.
Note: When the pump is left installed in water it should be run at regular intervals (about once
per week).
