How To Replace A Sta-Rite Dura-Glas Pool Pump Motor

[@jnelz538]

I swapped my pool motor out because of this video! Everything works great. Thank you

[@Inyopools]

Great job!

[@Butch1982]

Jeez...finally a good video. The BEST ever! Thank you so much.

[@Inyopools]

Glad you liked it!

[@urntwrthyZ]

Thank you for taking the time to do this, excellent video.

[@arthurfox1629]

Great video! Thanks! One question, Is it normal for the brand new motor to give off a smell the first time running? Is it burning off something that was use to assemble the motor at the factory such as a lubricant? It's a chemical type smell not electrical.

Very informative video! Where can I purchase a seal kit for this Mod. P4E6D

[@Inyopools]

Hello Big T - You can find the seal kit for the P4E6D on our site. Here is a link www.inyopools.com/Products/00500005003534.htm

Can you show how to make a portable filter system using this particular pump?

[@BikerGeek]

opened mine up and found that one of the screws holding the diffuser on was missing (I didn't install it). What effect would that have if reinstalled it with one screw missing?

[@Inyopools]

It shouldn't be an issue if you are only missing one. I've opened these before and it was missing 2-3. A real loose diffuser could rattle and also lower the flow of the pump.

With the spring loaded impeller seal it looks like you said full rubber side faces white ceramic ring, but before you put on the impeller it looks as though you reversed it so metal side faced the white ceramic ring. Am I seeing things wrong here??

[@Inyopools]

Great eye! I believe this step had to be re-shot out of order, it was put in place in the wrong orientation accidentally.

[@stevenmalone38]

Once i got my pump back together, I tried to prime just so the impeller had water, but it leaked significantly. Any idea why? Ive pulled the strap of 3 times and reset the o-ring.

[@Inyopools]

Where is the pump leaking from?

[@boomerboomerdude5490]

According to the parts breakdown there is a 'slinger' seal, pn: 5056-04, that goes between the motor shaft and the back plate (seals motor shaft and backplate seal shaft)? I did not see you replace or install onto the new motor...is it not needed?

[@Inyopools]

The slinger comes with the new motor and it's already on the shaft. It's pressed up against the end bell.

[@coachwoz]

I swear after taking my def-user off my impeller has metal like brass around the front of it that has come off and don't see it on any of the replacement impellers. do you know where i can find one. thanks

[@spacecoastz4026]

That "brass" ring is part of the defuser housing.

[@rwmccullough]

It looks like the big square gasket from the kit was unused. Is that correct?

[@Inyopools]

Yes, that was a gasket that goes between the strainer pot and tank body. Unless that is leaking, I usually skip that one and save the gasket.

[@derekmiller7663]

why did you run a ground wire off to air?

[@Inyopools]

As you may be able to tell, we are not doing this demonstration on an equipment pad but rather on a table. If this were on an equipment pad, the other end of the bonding wire would already be in place, tied to a ground rod. So, the only part you'd need to know to complete this task is when and where to attach the bonding wire to the motor. Which is what I believe we accomplish.

[@derekmiller7663]

Makes sense thank you for reply. Great video. Only thing I’d add is for my motor I had to switch voltage from 230 to 115. 230 preset made it run half power and very hot

[@hothmobile100]

Great video, but honestly, don't use these anymore, guys. I tried to keep these kind of pumps going but the replacement motors do not last as long as they used too. And with energy costs so high you really should not use single speeds anymore. I replaced my Dura Glas with a Hayward Maxflo VS500

[@Inyopools]

Thanks, for the feedback Richard. We'll piggyback on that thought. If you don't have the funds to go with a brand new VS pump, you can go with a variable speed replacement motor. The same steps in this video can be followed when upgrading to a VS motor. The only difference is that the VS motor would take a little bit of programming after it is installed.
