Pump id

[ps6000]

I am trying to identify this pump. The motor is a centurion, the pump’s label is long gone. The cover has a serial of 357199. The pump is used for the spa jets.

Can anyone identify this, or let me know what I need to do to identify it?

I’m looking to buy a seal (go kit) for this. I plan on opening it up because while the motor turns on, nothing comes out of the jets. The impeller doesn’t seem clogged as I can spin it by hand. If I open it up I want to make sure I have the right seals on hand.

It’s a whisper flo square flange 2 hp motor. Many company’s make it. You say the impeller spins freely? When you spin the impeller does the shaft spin as well(back of motor)?

I did not look at that. I’ll check that today. Thank you

The back spins freely. I have noticed some oil leaking, and some oil in the water.

The oil is probably from one of the capacitors. Some pumps have 2 capacitors a starting and running. I would inspect them and replace if they are broken.

Thank you. Do you think I should get a go kit since I am going to be taking this apart?

The capacitors are external but if you want to change all the gaskets as well that’s not a bad idea but would be a different project. I would confirm the capacitor fixes the problem first.

I just looked up the caps location. Seems easy enough to test and replace. Would you know how to order the right go kit, if it comes down to that?

I can’t thank you enough for your help!

It would be Pentair whisperflo go kit.
