Pentair SuperFlo Pool Pump - Don't forget to do this!

Описание: Tim from poolproanswers.com shows how to turn off and empty a basket on a Pentair SuperFlo VS Pool Pump.
As a bonus, there was an old Purex brass pot pump on-site so we can see how to open one of those up as well.
The principles of emptying swimming pool pump basket are pretty straight forward:
1) turn off the pump. When the pump is on it's sucking the lid down.
2) remove the band or clamp that holds it in place
3) take off the lid/ band assembly, including the O-ring
4) remove the basket and empty the basket
5) replace the basket
6) inspect the lid/ band assembly for damage, cracks, and potential leaks. Take a close look at the O-ring, does it need to be replaced, is it dried out?
7) lubricate the O-ring (if needed)
8) makes sure the pump has water in it. This will help the pump prime itself
9) replace the O-ring, lid, band assembly. DONT OVERTIGHTEN IT. it gets tighter on its own.
10) turn on the pump
11) once there is good water flow, make sure to bleed the air out of the filter.
