Installation Notes
Turn off power and lock out the pump circuit. Remove the pump volute cover and motor bracket. Remove the impeller and old diffuser, inspect for excess wear or damage. Insert the 072927Z diffuser assembly into the pump housing, ensure correct seating and rotation clearance. Reassemble the motor bracket and cover, restore power, and verify correct flow and absence of vibration.
Maintenance Tip
During annual service, inspect the diffuser for cracks, excessive wear or erosion. Replacing the diffuser at first signs of hydraulic degradation helps prevent pump over-current, overheating, and premature failure.
