Bubble Blaster HY1000s Help...

Khandurian · 07/16/2011, 04:55 PM

I took apart my pump to do its monthly cleaning. When I opened it up and removed the needle wheel, there was a plastic washer that came flying.

I found the flying piece and now I am confused as to where it goes.

Does it go in the hole first, then the needle wheel, then the little rubber stop?

Does the needle wheel go first, then the washer then the little rubber stop?

HELP!

I don't know your pump specifically, but most pumps have the little rubber stop at either end of the shaft; the little plastic washer is on the outer layer to keep the needle wheel from causing too much friction. In other words, you should be able to see the washer when you put it back together.

Rubber Stop > Shaft> Needle Wheel > Plastic Washer > Other rubber stop on top of shaft.

Not this one, the actual shaft is attached to the the pump and the rest of it slides onto the shaft.

Ah- so, I'd say needle wheel, washer, then rubber stop.
