Frequently Asked Questions - PMD15 HAYWARD

How do I prime the Hayward PMD15 pool pump?

To prime the pump, remove the strainer basket cover and fill the pump pot with water until it overflows. Replace the cover and turn on the pump. If it doesn't prime, check for air leaks in the suction line.

What voltage does the PMD15 pump support?

The PMD15 pump can operate on either 115V or 230V AC, single phase. Ensure the motor wiring matches your power supply. Refer to the wiring diagram on the motor nameplate.

Why is my pump making a loud noise?

Loud noise can be due to cavitation, clogged impeller, or worn bearings. Check the strainer basket for debris, ensure proper water level, and inspect the impeller for damage. If noise persists, the motor bearings may need replacement.

How often should I clean the strainer basket?

Clean the strainer basket at least once a week or when you notice reduced flow. A clogged basket can cause pump strain and reduced efficiency.

What size pipe connections does the PMD15 use?

The pump has 1.5-inch NPT inlet and outlet connections. Use compatible PVC or flexible piping for installation.

Can I use the pump for above-ground pools?

Yes, the PMD15 is suitable for both in-ground and above-ground pools up to 20,000 gallons. Ensure proper installation with adequate flow rates.

My pump is leaking water. What should I do?

Check the strainer cover O-ring for damage or misalignment. Also inspect shaft seal and drain plugs. Tighten fittings if needed. Replace worn O-rings or seals.

How do I winterize the PMD15 pump?

Drain all water from the pump by removing drain plugs. Store the pump in a dry, frost-free area. Leave plugs out during storage. Reinstall plugs before restarting.

What is the maximum head pressure for this pump?

The PMD15 has a maximum head of 45 feet. This determines the height the pump can lift water; ensure your plumbing does not exceed this limit.

Can I replace the motor separately?

Yes, the motor is replaceable. Hayward offers replacement motors for this model. Ensure compatibility by checking the motor frame and specifications.
