Recommended Solution:
Check Manufacturer Guidelines:
- Before making any adjustments, consult the pump manual or manufacturer’s instructions to confirm if the impeller housing can be rotated and how to do it safely.
Rotating the Impeller Housing:
- Most pumps allow for 90-degree rotations of the volute (pump casing) by loosening the bolts around it.
- Carefully loosen the mounting bolts that secure the impeller housing.
- Rotate the volute counterclockwise 90 degrees to align the outlet pipe in the desired upward position.
- Re-tighten the bolts evenly to ensure a proper seal and avoid leaks.
Check for Seals & Gaskets:
- Ensure that all gaskets or O-rings are properly seated after rotation to prevent leaks.
- Inspect for wear or damage before reassembly.
Prime the Pump After Adjustments:
- If the pump was previously used, it may need to be re-primed after the adjustment to ensure proper operation.
Test for Leaks & Proper Flow:
- Once reassembled, run a test to ensure the outlet is functioning correctly without leaks or pressure loss.
