@@JumpermanTech-- how will they supply heat if the boiler room is going away?

[@JumpermanTech]

@peterking1134 Due to new laws for pollution and efficiency in NYC, they are getting rid of the natural gas. These boilers are for hot water in the building. They are going electric with some sort of tankless units. I'm not sure how they will do it exactly but they mentioned it to me. I think they Will need to setup a boiler outside of the building to connect to the existing piping to supply hot water while the room is torn apart and rebuilt

I am an retired maintenace man and have worked on commercial equipment. Have you thought about just replacing the pump seals? If the motor is electrical sound you could save your self some aggravation with the flanges. Have run into the same thing once or twice over the years.

We gotta be related... Every time I start a project, it pretty much goes like this video... Good job, and especially tradesmanship. Do it right, even the little things.

[@andresland9906]

Why not just replace the pump seal and sleeve?

[@poohbear4130]

That’s not a new pump that my friend is a rebuilt pump. But in all honesty that’s what the owner/ engineer should be doing in the summer pull out a couple to rebuild when demand on the system is low. I think it’s called maintenance, the strainers need to be removed and cleaned or at least drained and flushed like you did, I would sell them on the lower cost of “maintenance” then emergency replacement and down time! You would certainly need to bid correctly based on the amount of equipment not being serviced!

[@whatevernamegoeshere3644]

Man, that's a hard nut to crack. We can't even convince the old craps running my workplace to do our own regular maintenance. Also that's a rebuilt. The paint alone gives it away lol

[@Thorsten369]

You should be lucky to have a good assistant / college (don't know the right word for him), you do an amazing work and you assistant / college too, give him some compliments from time to time caus he deserves it if you ask me.

[@jasonsheppard7410]

Dude why didn't you just replace the mechanical seal on the pump.

[@JumpermanTech]

They had this as a spare in the building for this exact situation. The pump we removed, we replaced the mechanical seal on it and now that pump acts as a spare on site. Thanks for watching! 🔧⚡️

Just a hell of a lot of work and headache when changing a seal would have only taken a couple of hours. 25+ years as a pump engineer.

Great Video. Thank you for sharing. How to know which direction pump to install left or right ? Both side flange look the same

[@Rob-ue7ig]

Okay I may be a little special and dyslexic the motor spinning in the correct direction but the housing is 180° off flowing wrong direction through system? Between suction and discharge?

[@stevenmcnutt2871]

I mentioned it on the last video with the other pump. He’s spinning the volute the wrong direction and pumping through the strainer.

[@genewheeler6320]

Great job as usuall brother

[@oldblueaccord2629]

Hey jumper man I looked at mine here and watched the first min and the 20th min of your video and I agree with some of the posters. I think the pump housing got swap around and is going the wrong way.

[@thesilentonevictor]

Looks like you up in business new staff lol

[@HallelujahHVAC]

What camera and mount do you use for 1st person POV?

[@robertdeweese6248]

Hard to tell in video but looks like the strainer is on the outlet side of pump???

[@natepeterson7145]

I have a kinda serious question. Why do most technicians buy cheaper diy grade tools. I only buy cheap tools if I don't use them often.

[@christopherleubner6633]

Mainly because they tend to grow legs and when they walk away it it isn't as a painful breakup.

[@mathanyoseph4349]

They really need to address the water treatment schedule to get the water quality better because if thats running through the units then its gonna be alot more problems not to mention they are cutting the equipment lifespan by a quarter or at least half which means alot more money going towards massive capital projects.

[@Patmcc937]

You need to find a new pump rebuild company my friend - what you had to do to make that pump work was not right on pump company - any way nice job getting it done

[@KentHenry8]

Why did they throw all that drywall up above the pumps, enclosing the junction box for that pump? Maybe a little bit of noise baffle?

[@TheShotgn]

Get you some rubbing alcohol to erase the marker off the disconnects. Comes right off.

[@natepeterson7145]

That's very shady what they put you through. I would've made sure they knew they that that's the last time you're spending that kind of money with them. I would even go as far as telling them every time that you're near that you're going to another supply house instead of theirs until they offer to make it right. I would even send them a link to the video so they can see it.

[@Kevin-wj4ed]

No water treatment

[@tecnigaz]

that situation was bad with the bigger pump! loss of time , i know what it is, btw the gauges should be a higher psi range?(200)

It really was a hassle. The old guages were rated for 100 PSI so I ordered the same ones. They definitely need to be replaced with ones rated for 200 PSI 💯

why dont you save the customer some money and replace that carbon / ceramic seal? I know the cost of the seal vs whole thing is huge....

[@xtrekadventure8225]

I'm all for replacing old with new but the truth is a seal kit would have fixed that pump in half a day. Do yourself and your customer a favor and get a spare shaft seal kit for each pump, nothing makes customers and techs happier than having a leak that can be immediately fixed.@@JumpermanTech

Don’t ever go back to that supply house.

[@oldblueaccord2629]

If the housing isnt itself leaking I just take the pump(motor) off. That fitment issue comes up all the time. I look into a small chain fall like under 500 lbs. there great for lifting stuff like that. They fit in your hand and you use a ratchet wrench. They need there water treatment look at!

[@Kevin-wj4ed]

Your company should be able to make lots of money off these people. They don't do any. PM.

[@JumpermanTech]

They definitely don't do any maintenance or treat the water. Units are almost 20 years old. They will be replacing everything next year so until then, I will make the most of this place to get them running. Thanks for watching! 🔧⚡️
