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.
