Thank you! That explanation makes sense.

That picture is taken from the basket area, pointed back towards the impeller. The camera might not be centered in the basket area, leading it to look like something is off center. I will take the assembly apart and make sure it's all sorted. Thanks

I went over lunch and checked it out. I can turn the impeller with a screw driver, but it doesn't spin more than the amount that I push it with the screw driver. Is that expected? I managed to get my phone in there to take a photo. Doesn't look normal, does it? The motor is also very hot...

I'll give that a shot once it stops raining. Thanks!

The new motor is a USQ1102 (1 HP). It replaces a 1 HP STA-RITE motor. I consulted with Inyo before making any purchase. The noise in the video above is the noise that made me replace the motor. Clearly, it wasn't the motor making the noise... though the old motor was 11 years old so it was...

Yes and yes. The shaft seal was replaced and any o-ring that was part of the assembly was replaced (with the Into "go-kit"). The diffuser inner ring felt a little rough, but I was told some wear there is expected. Impeller didn't appear to be damaged or worn in any way.

I recently replaced my aging pimp motor with a comparable model from Inyo. I still have the same noise as before the replacement. Can anyone identify what the noise is? Do I need to replace the impeller or diffuser?

I replaced the motor, shaft seal, and o-rings last week, but the assembly is still very loud compared to what it used to be. I'm attaching a video below. Is there something else (impeller, diffuser, etc) that would be causing this noise?

Photos attached… is it the C48* number on the white barcode label? Thanks!

Our pool is just about 11 years old and things are starting to need replacement. We just did the liner and now I feel the STA-RITE MPRA6E-205L pump is on its last leg. It’s getting louder and the output doesn’t feel quite as strong as it used to. Is there a direct replacement for this pump...
