This is really helpful. Thanks

The pump is programmable but other than that, there’s nothing else.

Thank you.

Sorry, meant to say motor.

Can I keep everything I have and just put in this pump?

Thank you. He came back and took it apart, replaced with a new shaft seal and it still sounds the same. I’m assuming he checked these other items but maybe I’ll have to see if I can check it myself. I’m hoping it holds out for a week or two.

Thank you.

What is the vfd? I asked the guy if he thought it was strange that the pump was damaged the next day. It makes me wonder if there was damage from doing the seal replacement. He did a lot of digging to get the old seal out. Should it have been that hard?

My pump was leaking and based on comments and suggestions here, I called a pool guy to come take a look. He replaced the shaft seal and it looked like it fixed the problem. The next morning when the pump started it sounded terrible and by the end of the day it still appeared to have a slight...

Thank you.

I do look at it regularly and kept thinking the water was from cleaning the pump basket. The other part seemed to happen fairly quickly.

Thanks. I am not knowledgeable on rebuilding pumps so I’d likely need to call a pool person to do it for me. I’m assuming they would get the parts but it sounds like there are definitely some better choices than others. I suppose I should also check into sales on new equipment. Side question...

Thanks. I don’t have a SWG which is why I’m wondering how that happened. I’m assuming it’s insulation oozing out? The pump sounds fine so I’ll see if I can find something that tells me how to re-do the seals.

Has anyone ever seen this happen to a pump before? I’m assuming I’ll need to replace it as it’s leaking slightly, but do I replace the entire unit or just the motor portion?
