Installation Notes
- Turn off power at the breaker and drain the pump before disassembly.
- Inspect and replace wear items during a housing swap (shaft seal, housing gaskets/O-rings, diffuser gasket).
- Verify your lid style before ordering parts (some Super II housings use different lid/knob designs).
- Use a pool-safe thread sealant on threaded fittings and avoid overtightening plastic ports.
- Prime the pump after reassembly and check closely for leaks during startup.

Maintenance Tips
- Winterize properly—freeze damage is a common cause of cracked pump housings.
- Keep lid seals clean and lightly lubricated to reduce suction-side air leaks and prime loss.
- Don’t overtighten threaded fittings; snug plus a small turn is usually enough with the right sealant.
- If you see repeat leaks, inspect the housing carefully for hairline cracks and warped sealing surfaces.
