@JamesW had to make sure I wasn’t nuts as the o-rings I took out looked identical in size. Found the catalog you referenced and looks like parts #4 and #12 are E331 o-rings for my 200-906 2”. @PoolStored interesting on magic lube vs magic lube 2. There are literally thousands of positive...

I see what you're saying, but on my union the E331's fit perfectly on both sides. The tolerances/difference on them must be tiny. Been watching the pump for a while now with no leaks. I have the two original ones I pulled out and honestly one looks like it could be ever so slightly larger, but...

@JamesW This fixed it perfectly! I ordered two of the o-rings as they were on top and bottom. The old ones were definitely flatter and starting to deteriorate when touched. Had to uncouple the inlet too to move the pump as you suggested. Overall 15 minute job moving slowly. Applied some...

Seriously, thank you!!!

This makes total sense - I replaced a bunch of the o-rings (pump, filter, valves) this year on a now 9.5 year old system and I didn't realize these unions had o-rings in them too. Go figure the once I didn't replace starts leaking. Hate to be a pain, but any idea if those o-rings are...

Holy cow! thanks! Saved me a ton of time! Just for my own sanity, that black union should just unscrew in normal lefty-loosy way? Just don't want to crack anything when I replace the o-rings.

Looks like “Praher PVC NO SU 150-12” Have the same union going in and coming out of the pump.

Hi Guys, Recently noticed that my threaded fitting coming out of my Whisperflo is starting to drip. We've had a few hard freezes recently in Georgia and I'm just wondering if something cracked in there. It doesn't drip every single time the pump runs but it's regular enough for me to notice...

Hi there, I have a Pentair Whisperflo 1.5HP (non variable) that’s 9 years old and still going strong. We live in Georgia and don’t close the pool so in Dec/Jan/Feb it will run in frost protection mode. I was thinking about proactively replacing the motor (WF-6) in the fall so that I don’t have...

Thanks for your advice @PaulStinson. It turns out I have a gas supply issue…again. Underground PE line converts to black pipe 2ft underground and the Georgia clay rotted the 2inch bell reducer and let water in. Had a plumber replace the bell and pipe and waterproof the heck out of it and I...
