K-Pump Maintenance
Learn how to take care of your K-Pump.


	All K-Pump models are designed to be maintained in the field. Malfunctions are rare but when they occur they are easily addressed because all models can be taken apart. Since there is only ONE moving part, the remedy to most issues is usually easy. After removing the retaining screw (the only metal part in the entire pump), remove the pump body cap. Just rinse the pump out in the water and in most cases you’re ready to go.


	O-Rings: If the O-ring in the plunger appears not to be sealing properly, check to see if there is any debris (even the smallest piece) on the ring and remove it. If the O-ring has failed completely, simply replace with the spare O-ring that is in the bottom of the pump body tube and you are set to go. NOTE: If you are experiencing some “blowback” (the pump doesn’t appear to be sealing completely) simply remove the O-ring from the plunger and stretch it. Replace on plunger and it should work properly.


	Nozzle: If the tip on the nozzle becomes so damaged that you cannot get a proper seal, simply remove the nozzle by rocking it back and forth until it comes out. The reverse end will be new and you simply reinsert the nozzle and you are good to go.


	Lubrication: About twice a year, under normal use apply a bead of Super Lube around the top of the cylinder internally and reinsert the plunger. K-Pump strongly urges that you use only Super Lube as we’ve found it to be superior to all other types of lubrication.


	Replacement Parts: You can order K-Pumps, super lube, spare o-rings, bungee balls, nozzles and new stow bags through this web site by calling the number available on our contact us page.
