pump Maintenance?

[prodman]

I have a sequence dart for the return pump on my tank. And was wondering what Maintenance if any I should do to keep it working?

Make a box that you can hook it up to and run a dilute vineagar or muratic acid or the deltec ezeclean through it to clear calcium deposits.

Wha kind of box? is an eternal pump.How often should I do that? And what about seals or bearings?

[moonpod]

bearings realistically wear out after A LONG time.

seals--if the thing starts leaking you need to replace the seals.

make a bucket, drill a 1.5" or so bulkhead into it. hook your pump up to it, fill, plumb a simple return that goes over the top back into the bucket. Done.

thats very simple thanks for the explaination. How often should i do this?

[moonpod]

depends on how CA hungry your system is and what alk you run it at. The higher the CA consumption and alk more often. Average 6 mos.
