• Repeating cycles of stopping and restarting will damage the water
pump. Do not continue operation at low lift, low water level, or while
the inlet is clogged with debris. Not only will performance suffer, but
such conditions may cause noise, heavy vibration, and pump failure.
Removing the Intake Screen
Atlantic’s TidalWave PAF-Series Pumps are equipped with a removable
intake screen for conversion to true 1¼” solids handling capacity. To
remove the intake screen and use the pump as a solids handling pump,
follow the instructions below:
• There are seven holes with screws in them. Only three of these screws
need to be removed to remove the intake screen.
• Locate these three holes which are denoted by raised bumps and
indicated on the image above. You will need a #2 Philips head
screwdriver (not included).
• Once these screws have been removed, pull off the intake screen.
You should be able to easily pull it off by hand.
• If the screen does not pull easily, double check that the correct screws
have been removed.
Maintenance and Inspection
• Regular maintenance and inspections are a necessity for continued
efficient functioning. If any abnormal conditions are noticed, refer to the
section on Troubleshooting and take corrective measures immediately.
• During or after the warranty period, the customer is NOT to
disassemble the pump for any reason.
