Check that both End Caps are present and undamaged. If the filter is noisy, the Impeller shaft could be unseated or worn and may need replacement. The pump in the ClearView 75 does not have a removable shaft, therefore if the shaft is worn, the entire pump must be replaced.

On ClearView 200, 500 and 800 the blade section on the Impeller, should be able to turn 180º in relation to the Magnet. If it spins freely or not at all, the impeller should be replaced. On ClearView 75 and 300, the blades should not move separately. if they do, the Impeller needs to be replaced.

Put the shaft through the Impeller and hold the assembly by the shaft ends. Spin the Impeller on the shaft. It should spin smoothly - if you feel it wobbling, the Impeller or the shaft may be worn and need replacement.

Impeller Well Magnet

Check both the Impeller Magnet and the inside of the impeller well for damage. The surfaces should feel smooth. If not, they are damaged and the pump will not work at full efficiency or at all.

To test the electric coil in the pump, remove the Impeller. Plug the pump in (Ensure everything is dry first!) and hold the Impeller magnet next to the pump as shown. You should feel the magnet vibrate.
