Some embodiments of the present invention provide a pump including a pump
housing having an inlet adapted to fluidly couple with an inlet conduit,
and an outlet adapted to fluidly couple with an outlet conduit. The pump
also includes a pump shaft rotatably supported in the pump housing and a
plurality of impellers coupled for rotation with the pump shaft. The pump
further includes a motor removably coupled to the pump housing. The motor
has an output shaft drivably coupled to the pump shaft. The pump also
includes a spacer positioned between the plurality of impellers and the
motor. The spacer includes at least one aperture to access and de-couple
the output shaft and the pump shaft. The motor, spacer, pump shaft, and
the plurality of impellers are removable from the pump housing as a
single unit without disconnecting the inlet conduit and the outlet
conduit from the pump housing.
