Pump question

[kuatto]

Was given a brandnew(never been used,still in plastic/box) mini-vac water pump(350gph).the problem is a red grease in where the impeller is.what can i use to clean this stuff off without leaving any harmful residues behind?If I can't get it 100% clean/safe then i won't use it

use warm water along with a vinger and salt.

Don't use it. Maybe, just maybe that grease is there for a reason. I don't know about mini-vacs, but if the impeller is greased then that doesn't sound like the type of pump you want for this hobby.

Just my two cents,

I have the phone number for the company,so I'll call to find out if i can use this pump.

Well i couldn't get ahold of the pump manf. so i got to tinkering and got the whole thing all clean(actually it came with replacemant parts which i put in lace of the parts which had grease) and decided to test it in the bathroom.pump works fine,but noise level is a little much :eek:
