How To Rotate the Discharge Port on a PureLine Pure Pro XL Pump

The PureLine Pure Pro XL is a versatile above ground pool pump. This pump comes from the factory with a vertical discharge. This guide will show you how to rotate the discharge to a horizontal position.

Step 1

Steps 1-2 apply to pumps that are already installed. Turn the power off at the breaker or unplug the pump.

---

Step 2

Disconnect the hoses/plumbing from the pump. Close gate valves if you have them or place the hoses over the pool water so that water doesn't drain out.

---

Step 3

Remove the pump lid.

---

Step 4

Remove the basket.

---

Step 5

Locate the retaining clip inside the strainer pot. Lift up on the clip and remove it.

---

Step 6

Remove the pump strainer from the pump housing and motor.

---

Step 7

Remove 8 screws from the diffuser. Tip: Throw them in the pump basket so they don't get lost.

---

Step 8

Pull the diffuser off of the pump housing.

Step 9

At the back of the motor, locate the two cap screws. Loosen the screws and remove the end cap.
