It did not "fall apart"
During the filling I removed the head from the pump, to be able to place it all under water (filling without air bubbles).
During this the botom plate twisted, and I got qurious.
I'm not a Noob, so I gently took of the top, and removed pice by pice, laying it gently on the table.
The same way it got out, it went back in again.
I did not check if there was a smooth side of the ceramic plate.
If there is a smooth and a raw side, it does not make sence to place the smooth side on to the ryton washer. Due to the D shape of the axis, the ceramic plate can not move.
The ceramic plate is however in contact with the top part of the housing, and the ceramic plate is "spinning".
If the smooth part would be in contact with the Ryton washer, the raw side is in contact with the top part of the housing.
The top of the housing isn't spinning.
I'm not a specialist in Pump desighn, but that would seem to me a bit odd.
Anyway, I'll check. Best way to check it is besides feeling of the ceramic plate ,to see if the ryton washer is in any way not the same as it was before I put it back together
