Q:How to Remove Pool Pump Impellers
A:1.When it comes to maintaining a clean pool, you must have a properly functioning pool filter in addition to the right mix of chemicals. If the pool filter stops working, it is impossible to keep the pool clean. The impeller is the heart of the pool filtration system. It creates the suction that draws the water from the pool into the filter. If it becomes defective, you must repair or replace it.
2.Remove the pump filter basket assembly from the rest of the pump. The impeller is located right behind the pump basket, so you have to remove the basket to access the impeller. Remove the pump filter assembly by removing a series of bolts located around the circumference of the pool pump using a ratchet set. As you remove the bolts, place each bolt and associated nut in a safe place so you'll have them when it's time to reattach the pump assembly.
3.Hold the nut in place with the pliers and unscrew the impeller. Depending on how long the impeller has been in place, it may take a bit of pressure to remove the screw while holding the nut in place. Once you remove the screw, you can remove the impeller.
