Hey all
I have a leak it looks to be around the shaft of the motor of the main pump. It's an executive 56 6hp. Is this most likely the shaft seal that has busted? I've you tubed that and it seems pretty straight forward to do but had some questions. The pump has a 6hp sticker and I can't find a 6hp listed for that brand anyplace. I havnt crawled under to get model numbers or anything yet so again not yet a big deal. I bought the tub used so I don't know what's been done to it in the past. Should i just rpeace the entire wet end and be done with it. I don't want to fix the seal and then have to replace junk every week after that. Everything still runs well just trying to save some future work. I am also assuming I'm gonna have to drain it to work on the pump (one month after a water change of course), so while it's down I want to do it all. Should I go ahead and change the seal on the I there pump also or if it ain't broke dont fix? Thanks again for the help. Also other than some leakage on my platform and water replacement any harm in letting to go another month til it warms up? It's been a little cold to be playing under the deck with water.
