you

can replace all its moving parts with

a General Hydroponics Pump

Rebuild Kit.

To

disassemble the

pump, remove the intake elbow

rotate the impeller

housing on the

pump

90 degrees clockwise and pull

it

of

f the pump

body. Pull out the

impeller assembly

and spin it on its

shaft to make sure it spins freely and

does not wobble. If it does wobble,

the assembly must be replaced.

This

usually occurs only if the pump has

been running dry
