DIFFUSER. The Diffuser (16) encloses the impeller, to focus the draw of water into the impeller eye, and control the flow out of the impeller with a series of stationary vanes. The Diffuser seals the impeller eye up to the back of the Pump Housing (1), to create suction.
Then, how do I know if my pool pump impeller is bad?
If you hear a buzzing or humming noise, it’s coming from the pump motor. This means power is reaching the motor but is having trouble starting it. It could be a bad capacitor, centrifugal switch, or a buildup of rust in the motor. It could also mean the impeller is stuck.
Consequently, how do I lubricate my pool pump motor?
Pull the motor armature out of the housing. Rub a generous amount of water-based engine lubricant on your fingers. Rub your fingers over each bearing, lubricating it well.
How do I lock the configuration menu on Hayward pump?

How do you lubricate a Hayward pool pump?
How do you replace a diffuser on a pool pump?
Do pump impellers wear out?
To summarize: If an impeller wears out or gets plugged, flow drops, pressure drops, efficiency drops and power drops. Or in essence, everything drops. Keep up the good work, and keep on pumping!
What is pump diffuser?
The diffuser is an important element of a compressor or pump. Its purpose is to reduce the velocity of the flow leaving the impeller resulting in an increase in pressure. The diffuser can be simply depicted as a nonrotating channel whose flow area increases in the direction of flow (Figure 7.7).
What is quick clean on Hayward pump?
The pump is equipped with a Quick Clean feature, which can be engaged to temporarily run at higher or lower speeds ranging from 300 to 3450 RPM. At the end of a Quick Clean cycle, the pump will automatically return to the appropriate point in its programmed schedule.
Why is the bottom of my pool pump leaking?
If you see water leaking out of the bottom of the pool pump assembly, it’s a good indication that you may have to replace the shaft seal within the motor pump assembly. As shown in the pool pump cut away, the shaft seal is located in the motor pump assembly behind the impeller.
