BrianB Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 The wetside of my wp40 stopped working, can you take these pumps a part. They seem to be sealed I have tried to get it open to clean but no luck. Does anyone just sell the wetside? I can not seem to be having any luck finding one.

cjmdh Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 If this is it, take the mount off and twist the two halves apart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrianB Posted December 27, 2019 Author Share Posted December 27, 2019 Yea that doesn't work for me, I have one of the first gens. Maybe they sealed them on the first gens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Z Reef Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 No, they all have to be serviced. I think back when I had one and it was sticking I was able to use a butter knife between some of the inlet slits to get some extra leverage to turn it.

BrianB Posted December 28, 2019 Author Share Posted December 28, 2019 I will try using a butter knife Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrianB Posted December 28, 2019 Author Share Posted December 28, 2019 Tried using a butter knife and still have no luck getting it open. It's on there tight as can be. Almost like it is super glued together Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bicyclebill Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 I’d try soaking in citric acid or vinegar for a little while, then try running it again. I found that those pumps had a pretty short life regardless of how well I maintained them unfortunately Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrianB Posted December 29, 2019 Author Share Posted December 29, 2019 i got it open finally and cleaned it but the impeller won't spin I think its a goner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
