A knockdown pump containment assembly for supporting a stator that employs a rotor therein. The pump containment assembly comprises a removable pump housing that defines a containment chamber for receiving, containing and directing the flow of a liquid material. The pump housing also includes an inlet port disposed for directing the flow of liquid material into the containment chamber, and an exit port for directing the flow of liquid material out of the containment chamber, into a stator. The pump containment assembly also includes a pump housing base provided for releasably receiving and supporting portions of the pump housing, and a pump housing retainer designed to releasably engage with the pump housing base to releasably secure the pump housing to the pump housing base.
