Re: Aquarius DF61 pump removal

Just to let anyone who is interested in this thread know the outcome…. all seems fine! Only time will tell whether I should have invested in a new pump. If it lasts a couple of years, the machine will be getting on for ten years old – so it will have done well.

Re: Aquarius DF61 pump removal

I took the pump out today and found the plastic casing that the armature rotates in was full of water and rubber deposits from the coating of the armature. Cleaned it all out, put some graphite grease at the back of the casing for lubrication of the armature spindle and applied some silicon sealer to stop water from entering again – hopefully !
I’ll leave the sealer to dry 48hrs before using the machine. If it fails again, I’ll buy a new pump.
