How often should I replace these parts?

The frequency of replacement depends on your pond conditions and pump usage. Monitor your pump's performance; if flow decreases or noise increases, it may be time for replacement.

Troubleshooting

Pump still has low flow after installing the kit

Ensure the impeller and shaft are correctly seated and fully rotating. Check that the pump intake and outlet are clear of debris. Verify that the pump model is indeed the 2014 New Style 1200.

Pump makes unusual noise after installation

Double-check that the new impeller and shaft are securely in place and that no foreign objects are obstructing their movement. Ensure the pump housing is correctly reassembled.

Impeller does not spin

Confirm the new shaft is properly connected to the motor and the impeller is attached to the shaft. Ensure the pump is receiving power and the motor is functional.

Pump leaks after reassembly

Inspect the pump housing seals and gaskets to ensure they are clean, undamaged, and properly aligned before reassembling. Tighten housing components securely but do not overtighten.
