Pentair SuperFlo Pool Pump - Shaft Seal Replacement Tutorial

Exact Shaft Seal from the video: amzn.to/2Jzd4KA
Here is a video on how to replace the shaft seal on a Pentair SuperFlo pool pump!
There are many many videos on KZbin on how to do this with the WhisperFlo pump, but the process is slightly different. I couldn't find one online for this pump, so consider this the first and only! :) I disassembled the pump first, the video shows the process in reverse order.

Thanks for video.

[@sunjaytalele2206]

Thanks for the video - it helped me fix my leak. One comment - my impeller did not have a screw on it (might be a different model.) It was threaded to screw onto the motor shaft. I had to hold the bolt in the back while I turned it counter-clockwise to remove it.

In the words of Mr. C. Montgomery Burns: "Exxxcellent".

[@TutorialGenius]

haha! You're welcome!

When you forget the volute/motor bottom tray, you might bottom out the bolt in the brass threaded insert. Cut the bolt with a hack saw to separate the volute and the seal plate. The insert will come out if you heat it during drilling it spins out. Now you can drill out the seal plate to accommodate a longer stainless bolt. A 3.5" bolt is long enough, but 4" works too.

Just to add, it is critical that the Mechanical Shaft Pump Seal ceramic and the end that presses against it(the ceramic surface) are free of any debris such as finger oil. it is recommended that you wear gloves handling that part and if you touch it that you clean it with isopropyl alcohol, I would use 99%, but household isopropyl will work in a pinch. on the rubber part that surrounds the ceramic disk, you can use silicone pool lube, the same stuff you can use on your o-rings. Other than that I found this video extremely helpful, especially the direction of the Mechanical Shaft Pump Seal. Regards,

[@nickolasvaughn667]

You are correct but I touch the ceramics everyday because I am a big pump shop and they never leak when I'm done the directions does say don't touch it but the only thing that matters is that you don't get anything on the white part because the mechanical part of the seal has to meet to it

[@banntasn3104]

Your direction works perfectly, with no leaks in a year(THANKS!)...even after having to disassemble it again. The bad part is the earlier leaking I had, had rusted up the bearing in the motor, so I replaced those too. I forget who posted that video, it save me a lot of money, just the cost of 2 bearing and a puller.

[@gilmarzp]

Tks

[@zetuskid]

Can you take a pool pump motor and convert to regular electrical use like on a band saw or wood lathe? Thanks

[@nickolasvaughn667]

The ceramic never goes bad they will crack sometimes but the reason for the leak is because the debris on the mechanical the spring part

[@nickolasvaughn667]

Use a little RTV next time on this ceramic on the rubber if you put it on the white part it will leak put it on the outer ring then I guarantee no leak

[@rogelioperez-delgado7082]

Thanks for the video. What is the shaft seal part number?

[@romanramon4147]

Rogelio Perez-Delgado PS-200

[@maritoguerra4757]

me interesa mucho ver el video

[@johnporada927]

Would you know if my pump is really grinding and making a very loud whining noise does that cause it to use more electric?

[@s34nvideos]

It making loud winning noises? What did it win? That's some pump! hahahaa!

[@johnporada927]

sorry whining. Do you have an answer?

[@nickolasvaughn667]

@@johnporada927 your bearings are going bad no it will not use more power

[@jimw125]

My superflow motor old bearing was a 6203, but a new 6203 won't fit on. The shaft is clean. I swear both bearings read 6203. In fact I got four new bearings and all are too small for the rear shaft although they fit the front nicely. What to do? There was a noticeable difference in the size of the bearing inner races, I think .62" for the new and .635 for the old. Makes no sense to me.

[@nickolasvaughn667]

It is the right bearing the rear always goes on harder need a good bearing driver if the 6203 you bought fits on the front it fits on the rear I am a pump shop in Melbourne Florida one of the best

[@millo1143]

Hello, how do you know the size of the seal? I have the same pump as you

[@TutorialGenius]

See product in video description.

[@maritoguerra4757]

porque en el segundo 50 se queda stop

[@s34nvideos]

I'm not having this problem. Sounds like internet. Just click past it

[@RadioRich100]

why would you make a video showing how to replace the seal by starting with the pump already apart?

[@TutorialGenius]

Hey, remember youtube is free. You didnt pay for anything. It's nuts and bolts, you'll figure it out.

[@totallyfrozen]

Removing the pump is the easy part. The seal replacement is the more technical part. To remove the motor is 4 bolts (mine also has 2 nuts). Once that is off, it’s only another 4 bolts to separate the electric motor from the parts shown in this video. You’ll need a couple of 9/16” wrenches. kzbin.info/www/bejne/onO7mqWEmMaSoas
