3. The gap between the impeller and the guard plate should be reasonable. If the gap is not reasonable, there will be noise and vibration when the pump is running, which will cause damage to the flow-through part, thus affecting the service life of the pump. When replacing the impeller, the gap must meet the design requirements. If you want to adjust the gap, you can use the adjusting screw on the rear bearing to achieve it.

Generally, the parts easily damaged are bearings, pump casings and impellers. For these parts, they should be replaced frequently so as not to affect the operation of the pump.
