Just finished rebuilding my Whisperflo pump with a new seal plate (grommet housings were cracked bad causing shift, impeller was rubbing against diffuser face), new shaft seal, and new gaskets/o-rings.
Got everything put back together and just screwed the impeller on, but it seems like it turns/spins with the same amount of force as it did prior to me rebuilding the pump. My question is...are you suppose to be able to spin it and it spins freely in multiple circles on its own for a while? Or is it suppose to be able to just manually turn by hand? I can turn it by hand with no problem, but if I tried spinning it like a wheel/top, it will not spin freely for any period of time.
