Is this pump fixable?

Geoffv · Apr 22, 2024

Hi All,
Re Hayward MaxFlo VS SP2302VSP
While undoing bolts to replace seals, the pump-end housing on the motor with the bolt holes where the seal plate is bolted broke. The metal that makes one of the bolt holes crumbled. See the photo and diagram.

I can't find a part number anywhere -- it is essentially the motor housing at the pump end of the motor.
Anyone know if this part can be found? Hayward call centre was no help at all.
Or should I hurry up and get a new pump before everyone is sold out?

Thanks,
Geoff

Can you show the motor label?

It is probably a Century motor end bell.

Verify with Century for the correct part.

You will also probably need to replace the front bearing.

Check with a local electric motor shop and have them replace the front end bell and bearing.

Verify correct part number with Century.

Century EVO EVQ165. Nidec Neptune NPTQ165. Both motors will bolt to that pump. Century will allow you to use your existing time clock. Neptune has it all built in.
