Schego Ideal Air Chamber & Diaphragm Kit

Description

Schego Ideal Air Chamber & Diaphragm Kit — Complete pump-head refresh for the Schego Ideal 150 air pump

When a diaphragm has been in service for years, the chamber it works in is usually ready for replacement too. Schego Ideal Air Chamber & Diaphragm Kit (SKU: SH772) is the supplier’s air chamber and diaphragm kit to suit the Schego Ideal air pump, the German-made membrane pump from Schemel & Goetz. The air chamber is the part of the pump head where the diaphragm moves and where air is drawn in and pushed out, so replacing chamber and membrane together renews the whole air-moving section in one step instead of the membrane alone.

The Ideal is a compact fixed-output pump listed at 150 L/h at 0.5 m head and 170 L/h at the outlet with no head, drawing 5 W, with a case of about 130 × 70 × 50 mm and a noise level quoted at 41 dBA. It has no flow regulator, so a pump that has lost output has a mechanical cause: a worn diaphragm, a dirty or damaged chamber, a blocked filter felt, or a failed coil. Fitting this kit deals with the first two. If the pump still struggles afterwards, the filter felt (SH774) and coil (SH773) are the other wearing parts. Neither the supplier nor the maker publishes a parts breakdown for the kit, so the contents are described by name only and should be compared with the old head before the pump is rebuilt.

Usage & Application

When to Use

• High-hours pumps: Ideal pumps that have run continuously for years and have lost output.
• Cracked or dirty chamber: Damage or build-up in the head that a membrane alone will not cure.
• One-step rebuild: Replaces the two parts that decide how much air the pump delivers.
• Before replacing the pump: A kit is the lower-cost alternative to buying a new Ideal 150.

Installation & Replacement Guide

• Isolate the pump: Unplug the pump and take off the airline before opening the housing.
• Remove the old head: Open the case and take out the air chamber and diaphragm assembly.
• Fit the kit: Seat the new air chamber and diaphragm in the same position as the old one.
• Close and run: Reassemble the case and run the pump to confirm steady airflow.
