Maintenance

• Tam 105 impeller replacement
• 

  Tam 105 with suspected impeller damage.

• 

  Remove three screws using an 8mm socket. The metal is too soft for a screw driver. Remove the pump body.

• 

  Damaged impeller with bent/broken vanes. New impellers are available from the original supplier for about £9.00 (price at Jan 2012), part number HT10506. The writer bought two because it's suspected this will happen again.

• 

  Before removing the impeller, measure the gap between it and the body with feeler gauges. The central part is not holding the impeller on so gently prise/wiggle the impeller off with a screw driver. Be careful not to loose the key which can drop out.

• 

  Install the new impeller ensuring the clearance previously measured is maintained and reassemble.
