The Pentair 073830 impeller generates centrifugal force to move water through your pool or spa pump system, ensuring consistent and efficient water circulation.
This varies based on usage and maintenance, but typically, the impeller should be checked annually and replaced every 3-5 years or whenever you notice a decrease in pump performance.
First, disconnect the pump and remove the pump housing. Next, take out the old impeller, install the new Pentair 073830, and reassemble the pump. If you're unsure, consider hiring a professional.
The Pentair 073830 is specifically designed for the C-Series Commercial Pool and Spa Pump. Using it with other pump systems may lead to suboptimal performance or damage.
Regular cleaning and proper lubrication can keep the impeller functioning smoothly. Avoid blockages by cleaning out debris regularly.
Decreased water circulation, louder-than-usual pump noise, or visible damage to the impeller are some signs that it may need replacement.
Regularly check for and remove any debris in the impeller. Using a soft brush can help clean hard-to-reach areas without damaging the impeller.
The high head design allows for higher flow rates and better handling of higher pressure, thus boosting your pump's overall performance.
