To avoid dangerous or fatal
electrical shock hazard, turn OFF
power to pump and remove plug
from power outlet before working
on pump.
• It is essential for the longevity of the pump that regular service and maintenance be
carried out. The Ecoclear® 800-VS Pool Pump incorporates high velocity moving parts and
is pumping water containing harsh pool chemicals. Some parts which will wear during the
normal operation and expected life of the pump.
Once per week
Inspect trap basket, and empty
of any leaves and other debris.
Leaves and other debris that
collects in basket will choke
off water flow through the
pump and reduce efficiency
and performance. See below
instructions on cleaning the trap.
Clean area around pump and
ensure there are no leaves or
debris which could become a fire
hazard or choke the motor fan.
Follow instructions below to clean trap:
1. Switch off power to pump, close valves in suction and discharge, and release all pressure
from system before proceeding.
2. Remove trap cover (turn counter clockwise). If necessary, tap handles gently with a rubber
mallet.
3. Remove strainer basket and clean. Ensure all holes in basket are clear, flush basket with
water and replace in trap with large opening at pipe connection port (between ribs
provided). If basket is replaced backwards, the cover will not fit on trap body. To clean
transparent cover, use water and neutral soap only. Do not use solvents.
4. Clean and inspect lid O-ring; reinstall on trap. Clean O-ring groove on trap body and
replace cover. To help keep cover from sticking, tighten hand tight only.
5. Prime pump (refer priming instructions).
SERVICE & MAINTENANCE
Do not operate pump with trap
basket missing or damaged.
FREQUENCY
Once per month
CHECK
Check the pump to ensure no
water is leaking from inlet and
outlet joints, whilst pump is
operating. If leaks are noticed,
clean and grease the O-rings or
replace if necessary.
Check that there are no leaks
from under the pump. If there
are, this could be a sign of a
leaking mechanical seal. Call
a Maytronics Service Agent
immediately, to prevent damage
to the motor.
Check pump and motor for
insects and pest infestations
and ensure that motor fins are
clean of dust and dirt. Clean if
necessary.
