My pool guy wanted $500 to put a seal kit in. I literally watched your video twice and did it myself in 30 minutes and about $25 worth of parts including the pool lube. Thank you!

[@wayneharmon4485]

New pump is $400.

[@juancarlosmescalero5526]

Mark I want to personally thank you for a very concise instructional video that taught me how to replace the seals. Worked like a charm. Thank YOU, Mark. This is how tutorials are meant to be.

[@tomfromm974]

This is by far the clearest and most thorough self help video I have ever used and I use many! Thanks Mark!!!

[@erikbeschen5045]

I just had to replace my pool pump, the pool store wanted $900 to replace it. So I said no way in hell, so I bought the pump on Amazon watched this video and did it myself. The pump cost me $ 315.00. I saved almost $ 600. Thanks to you guys for the video. Keep doing pool project videos. You guys took great detail in explaining the process. Thanks.

[@sevenlicious]

Yes yes yes after watching I can't even tell you how many videos I've watched. Thank you for explaining all orings ,gasket, and all that comes with the seal kit

[@PatBuckleyracecar]

Awesome! No music, no bs, just instruction presented clearly and completely! My motor is running great, but I have two problems, undoubtedly related. I have no water flowing and when I took the basket cover off the water was steaming hot, and the basket had melted! I kid you not. I am going to assume that my 5-year-old impeller is quite literally toast.

[@HallmarkPoolSupplies]

Your impeller may be ok, good luck and thanks for watching.

[@scottfrancismurphy]

I tend to do most everything on my pool now. Once you know the basics it really helps out and saves money. Very well done video, very clear narration and video quality. Thanks!

[@MikeKonopkaSuperGenius]

Excellent, well-produced instructional video. Thorough and accurate yet a relatively short video. We were able to confidently disassemble the pump and change out the gaskets in about an hour. Thank you!!

[@joerapoza5991]

Great Job Mark, For those of you who are having a leak, change both seals on the inner case. The loud noise you may be hearing is your ceramic discs. If you ever ran your pump dry that maybe your problem. Not just trying to steal your thunder just adding my 2 cents.

[@raymondcastro2613]

Forget the rest, he's the best!

[@rickmason9334]

Wow, You made a GREAT video, very clear. I take care of most Pool maintenance myself, and when my Inground Pool Hayward motor went crazy noisy, I checked around and just wanted to replace the motor, while local pool supply companies said just get the entire unit, Motor and housing for $550!. The Hayward 1HP Motor was gotten for about $159, and then your video was the BEST, very clear and WOW, really easy to follow. Thank You!

[@katherinejohnson4929]

You saved me probably $1000, vs. calling my installer, who would probably have replaced the pump (at $550 retail, plus his mark-up, plus his labor). Thank you!

[@NicolaMicelotta-e3f]

Hi Mark, thank you for your great instructional video. My pump was leaking slightly and I was worried about the water getting to the pump. I ordered a gasket kit and with your video I was able to replace all the seals and so far so good, will see over a day or two if it had stopped leaking. I tell you one thing, it is much quieter as the spring seal was past it's time and once of the other seals had sand in it. Again thank you for your video, much appreciated!

[@rasputinskaarsgard2229]

Excellent tutorial. I saved $2300 dollars by doing it myself with the online video tutorials. This was well explained. Now my pump work perfect. Thank you so much. My total cost for do it yourself repair was $357.00

[@alanzhao8074]

Thank you very much Mark! Basically I never tried to fix anything myself related to my pool until I saw this video, very clear and precise. My dual speed Hayward pump suddenly started leaking a little bit last week, I couldn't find any obvious leaking around the drain and pipes. Luckily I found your video and ordered the parts. Today I dismantled the pump and followed your instruction step by step, put everything back together after replacing the seals and gaskets. The only one thing different was that my impeller got stuck, I went to buy a strap wrench in the middle and it worked great. I'm still checking if the leaking really got fixed but I want to thank you for saving me 150 dollars by making this great video!

[@jeandrolet1592]

great video I did the repair by myself and it's now fixed. You saved me 150 $ thanks once again

[@markgreeley37]

Absolutely perfect video!!! Quick, to the point & not dragged out talking nonsense!! Going home today to fix my leaking pump!

[@vidleeo]

Thanks for the great video! With the prices 2x higher they they were 3 years ago, it is super helpful to replace the motor (and seals) rather than buying the whole unit.

[@clucas-youmans6059]

Using this video I was able to replace the seal on my pump, which stopped the leak! Thank you so much!!

[@edwardrahm5435]

Did it five years back, no problem. This time around the impeller absolutely will not break loose.

[@HallmarkPoolSupplies]

@@edwardrahm5435 Try using a pair of channel locks and if that doesn’t work, then you can break or cut the old impeller off. I do have all the parts for this pump linked in the description of the video, if you need anything let me know and l will be glad to help. Thanks for watching.

[@yetihomestead9242]

Thank you for a very good instructional video. You saved me quite a bit of money, and I learned more about how my pool works. No more leak!!!!

[@AOL0321]

I actually just used the regular pool and spa lube. Great video again! On the old seal with the spring on my motor, the metal backing part separated from rubber seal and I just had to pull it off of the impeller shaft with some pliers. You just saved me and the rest of us hundreds of dollars and saved us downtime!

[@markderoller7645]

Just bought a replacement motor and seal kit. This video explains everything. Thank you!

[@DaveTinNY]

Excellent presentation! I feel like I was back in corporate training for the semiconductor processing equipment I worked on for 30 years. Thorough explanations of the steps, the whys and the hows. I will be doing this job today on my crusty Hayward pump (driven by a Century HST110, 1.1HP motor). The only thing I would ad is IF your pump is still wired (like mine), turn OFF the circuit breaker(s) for the pump and use a multimeter to confirm AC power is disconnected. Thankfully, LOTO is not really necessary at home. :)

[@rickcurreri8934]

Wow. Thanks so much Mark. I followed a different video last year and it was far more confusing, particularly regarding how to get at the shaft to hold it in place. Loosening up the condenser made it a snap to get in there. No more leaks or air bubbles!

[@csaiz-y6v]

Thanks for your prompt reply We'll just ordered a new seal plate

[@HallmarkPoolSupplies]

Thank you for your video! It helped me to build confidence to go and replace my pools seals this weekend! I've done plenty of other DIY items similar to this, but as a new owner who inherited the pool, a lot of this stuff I'll be doing for the first time. Appreciate the guidance! (Edited for grammar and clarity).

[@l2binner328]

Hi Mark, excellent and clear video. I wish I had seen it before I started my motor replacement - would have saved me a lot of time and some grief. I especially appreciate the clear and accurate description of the orientation of the seal on the impeller- a really important detail neglected or glossed over in several other videos (one - the first one I watched - was actually backwards). Two suggestions: first, I second an earlier comment about the warning not to touch the white (ceramic or teflon?) part of the seal ring with one’s fingers. Several admonishments on other videos that may cause premature failure (although I haven’t found manufacturer’s documentation supporting that). Second, the inner metal part of the old seal may stay in place when one removes it off the impeller shaft (especially if several years old). To an amateur, it looks like part of the shaft, especially considering the keying appears to line up with the keying on the new seal (if it’s backwards). The seal will not seat properly and will friction load the motor badly. (I think you may have mentioned it on your Pentair seal replacement video, but not here). Again, great video. As you may be able to tell, I’ve seen at least 8-10 over the last day trying to put all the puzzle pieces together for why this motor replacement didn’t work the first time for me. Your videos are definitely a cut above most in quality and technical accuracy. Appreciate your excellent work.

[@stevenprice2729]

Thanks for making this reply about the inner metal sleeve still remaining attached to the drive shaft. I thought I had purchased the wrong size until I read your comment. Unfortunately, I finished the replacement according to the video, which was very clear, but I now have leaks worse than before! I guess I'm up for a new pump.

[@acb6rgr1]

Excellent video. Very complete and descriptive. Exactly what I was searching for. Much appreciated!!

[@jerryrig5208]

Like the video- simple , direct and great that you gave wrench sizes so I didnt need to lug the whole toolbox. One thought I had- do you need to warn watchers to be careful and not touch wires to the capacitor with fingers or wrench - take care and ty

Thanks mark I just changed mine on my 17 year old super pump for the first time . So I was a little weary of doing it just want to add if your pump is old the shaft may need a little sprucing up I used an emery bored for finger nails . To very gently remove said gunk of 17 years on the shaft . All turned out good . Seal cost 15 bucks

My Hayward Super pump is leaking from somewhere. I haven't figured out where yet. It isn't from any of the ports/pvc. Plugs? Seals? Don't know - but armed with this video - i'm gonna try to take it apart and figure it out. Wish me luck! Thanks, Mark!

[@borisdavidov5]

Excellent video! Thanks bunch for putting this together.

[@michaelkapala3319]

VERY clear and detailed video! We just opened the pool two days ago and discovered a leak between the motor and the pump. After watching this a few times it looks like something I will work on. Is the process much different on an older Hayward Super Pump (Capacitor on top) Unsure of age as it was part of home when we purchased almost 15 years ago S/N is BJ9-254? I want to keep this going as long as possible as new products in general just don't seem to last as long anymore. Thank you.

[@HallmarkPoolSupplies]

Yes, the process is the same on an older super pump versus a newer Hayward Super Pump.

[@michaelkapala3319]

@@HallmarkPoolSupplies Replaced all the seals and all the leaks are gone! Thank you so much for your work. A side note for anyone who has an older motor (30ish y.o.) you don't have to take the plate off the back of it. There's a little metal cap about the size of a half dollar that pops off where you put your pliers in and hold the impeller. Thanks again for saving me lots of money and for doing these videos. You are appreciated.

My impeller was on so tight (from the factory, first time seal replacement), I had to use a rubber strap wrench to get it off, then it was easy. In the video he barely hand tightens it, that can't be right either. A little more detail would be good.

[@justinloewen3040]

Excelled resource, was instrumental in replacing the seal kit on my SP. My impeller was much more difficult to remove than yours but my strap wrench made easy work of it.. Is this seal something that should be replaced every so often as maintenance or is this something you replace once you have a leak?

[@HallmarkPoolSupplies]

You only need to change the shaft seals if the pump leaks or when you replace a motor.

Hi Mark. Your 4 year old video is still helping tons of people, me included. I was just trying to change the seals on my pump, but I'm faced with an impeller that will not budge. I've tried everything including a huge pair of Channellocks but it will not budge. I don't want to mar it up, or worse, break it completely, so I don't want to apply too much pressure. Have you ever faced this before? Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

[@HallmarkPoolSupplies]

Yes, sometimes this can happen. If you are unable to remove the impeller with channel locks you may have to break or cut the impeller to get it off. If you need an impeller l have all the parts for this pump linked down below in the description of the video. Thanks for watching.
