Safety Valve Spring and Ball Kit
The safety valve spring is the primary site of mechanical obstruction in the G30 system. The narrow coil spacing acts as a sieve for hop particulates and trub that bypass the main filter, leading to a consolidation of material that blocks the recirculation path. Replacing or thoroughly cleaning this assembly is the standard resolution for restored flow.

Pump Filter (Inlet Mesh)
This is the primary barrier for the pump's intake. If the mesh is deformed or the silicone end-caps are compromised, grain husks and hop debris enter the fluid lines and lodge in the safety valve or pump impeller. A fresh, properly-seating filter ensures that only liquid wort enters the recirculation assembly.

Replacement Pump Impeller
The G30 utilizes a magnetic drive pump where the impeller rotates on a ceramic shaft. If particulate matter bypasses the filters, it can lodge in the impeller housing (volute) or score the magnetic rotor, causing the pump to stall or fail to prime even if the downstream lines are cleared of clogs.
