Seio Problem

[mcvicker]

I have a SEIO 620 that had a lot of coraline build up. So I soaked it in vinegar, rinsed it really well, dipped it in limewater (I thought this would neutralize it). Well now i don't get much flow at all. I am getting rotation, but no water flow. Could the impeller be worn out? Is there something I am missing?

Did you take the Seio completely apart and wash and check the impeller? Mine frequently get clogged up with 'gunk' and once washed thoroughly, work like new again. Run a brush around everything too. I run the larger Seios, and it usually takes a pair of plyers to pull out the impeller/magnet assembly.

Also you may want to check the adjustment sleeve on the outside that adjusts the flow. You may have closed it some while cleaning it...

You could also have inadvertantly broke the ceramic shaft on the impeller, if you took it all the way apart.

Okay I figured it out. I have an old house without a ground in some rooms. I was using a cheap adapter in the utility room for mixing salt and the phase was reversed. It appears the shaft was spinning in the wrong direction. It is working like a champ now.
