Sure, you bet !
I suppose it's possible, although I didn't do anything other than rinse mine out before I started using it (but then the pump did fail after that - but I suspect that the check valve was dicey from the factory)
The replacement pump has been functioning fine for about a year now (knock on wood)
HRS said:Might some of the problems experienced with such pumps come from the trash that finds its way into the tank when it is being assembled? I took the time to run my hand around the inside of the tank and pull out the fine plastic shavings from tank being drilled, etc. Sure, the intake hose has a filtering screen on the end of it, but these shavings were nice and fine. I would image that they could cause a good deal of damage if they enter the pumps impeller.
