Water chemistry is looking great so we finally bit the bullet and fired the pool service. A week later and some investigation into other issues has led me to a leaky Pentair Intelliflo VS pump. I’m pretty sure it’s the Motor Shaft Seal and I have the new parts ready to replace the seal and all the gaskets to the motor housing. I have found some good info online about how to do the replacement but they all show the motors unattached to the other pool equipment.
My biggest question is: After shutting off all power to the pump via the breaker switches, is it necessary for me to remove all wiring to the pump motor in order to work on the shaft seal replacement?
