Great video! Would you happen to have a video on how to change the mechanical seals?

Can you replace the inner case? Apparently i have a hairline crack somewhere in mine and i can't seem to find it yet it leaks out the front of the bottom. I'm not even sure how i could pressure test it to find where the crack is to repair it
@fliparies232 ай бұрын
I recommend just taking off the front shroud. Put the unit back together with out the shroud. (Inlet, outlet, drain plug, and top prime plug) install and pressure test it that way to get a clearer look as to where it may be leaking. I’ve seen it drip from the pressure tank. Or could be the motor bearing seal.

My pump is an older model Grundfos probably around seven years old. It seems to be leaking from the bottom. It’s losing quite a bit of water.
@fliparies239 ай бұрын
Take off the shroud to get a better look at where the leak might be coming from. Could be the main shaft seal, but could be a cracked housing.

@fliparies23 Жыл бұрын
So your saying it continually runs even when the water discharge side is turned off? Sounds like a bad check valve. Take out the water inlet spring and seal and make sure it is clean and free of debris. Also take out the spring and check valve out if the top prime port make sure it is clean and free of debris.

I’ve seen a few of these pumps with this problem, cracking at the prime port due to over tightening, don’t use thread tape or paste.
@ralphshaw9758 Жыл бұрын
Just want to add that these pumps are notorious for leaks and not just at the prime plug. I have witnessed the failures many times now. Conveniently warranteed at just 2 years , users are S.O.L. with their failing pumps after that period. A real embarrassment for an otherwise great company.

I love how your video skipped right trough that special screw. One second it’s on with you stating needs special screwdriver that I don’t have then blink blink your pulling it off. Blink blink equals 30-45 minutes and a scuffed up special screw. I call BullButter.

did you have to recharge the internal tank? how do you do that?
@jasonlealiou4481 Жыл бұрын
Make sure it’s at 18psi check it at the air valve and fill it with an air compressor at the valve
@ralphshaw9758 Жыл бұрын
Grundfos recommends the air charge be 70% of desired working pressure. Its a typical Schrader (tire) fill valve.

You kinda skip the part where you get the impeller off? Mine just spins not sure how you got it off? Also don't think that is a venturi pretty sure it's the jet nozzle.

You have to hold the motor shaft in the back and then spin off the impeller

OK TYVM for excellent videos. b.t.w. this channel has 2 Myers rebuild(s), what I didint see here, I found on the other (also Helpful) video. As for the impeller, showing need to hold the shaft, OK, but I recommend wrapping cloth around the shaft end you're holding w/channel locks, etc. Myers are great pumps! I'm working on my second rebuild/clean up. I routinely do this every 8-10 years or as needed..
@georgegrund63839 жыл бұрын
But here's a question what signs are there that impeller is bad other than it would come up to pressure. Are there any visible signs on the impeller because I tore it down twice and looked it over real good. It seemed fine to me no broken parts? Hmm. What gives
@georgegrund63839 жыл бұрын
This was as helpful as all get out. I had to do this task and thought I'd youtube it. I punched in how to rebuild a myre pump. And presto. My concern was that was it necessary to pull off the back and those components.. And sure enough it was. Now I can rest assured I'm not going to screw it up. I'll just do exactly that. Saved me about 350 bucks.

Do you have a link for the rebuild kit? I been looking for one for my HJ75S pump...It builds pressure and works fine, but it sounds kind of weird and the pressure gauge right on top of the pump shakes around alot when its working...any recommendations? Thanks again for the video.
@fliparies239 жыл бұрын
+Leart McMuffin (SmokymancePhoto) sounds like it could be the bearing going out or the impeller is worn. You would be looking for the PK75 kit i would try here.....www.wholesalepumpsdirect.com/shallow-well-parts-kits.html or sears.com supposedly carries them. sounds like you may want a new pressure gauge.....try and get a liquid filled one.
