I just finished replacing the shaft seal on my booster pump. As soon as I turned the pump on water was leaking from the shaft seal. Is it defective or am I doing something wrong?

A  Answered on 2/16/2012 by InyoPools Product Specialist Patrick P.

Depending on the model, the installation of a booster pump shaft seal can be slightly different than a pool pump shaft seal. Some booster pump and pool pump shaft seals require that a silicone sealant be used on the outer areas of the metal seat of the shaft seal. The seal will need to be lightly hammered into the body of the pump. You can use a 1 inch PVC coupling or a piece of 1 1/4 inch PVC pipe and a rubber mallet. This procedure will apply to any pool pump or booster pump using a >PS-1000 style shaft seal.

I HAD THE POOL PUT IN 1994. I HAVE REPLACED THE PUMP MOTOR IN THE PAST, BUT NOT THE PUMP. THE PUMP IS MODEL WFE-8, SERVICE FACTOR 1.30, 2 HP, SN 0892170, WHISPERFLO. THE MOTOR IS BEGINNING TO FREEZE INTERMITTENTLY. WHICH MOTOR DO I CHOOSE? DO I NEED TO REPLACE THE PUMP OR PARTS IN IT? IS THERE A REBUILD KIT?

Hello Tom - The correct replacement motor is model B843. The only parts you should need to replace are the seals. The seal kit for standard chlorine pools is part number GOKIT32. The seal kit for salt pools is GOKIT32SALT.

Hi Barbara, this pump requires a connection to the in-take and out-take using PVC pipe in order to circulate whatever body of water wouldn't like to be circulate.

What is the maximum flow rate (GPM) for a WhisperFlo WFE-8 (2HP)?
 Reply

A  Answered on 4/22/2015 by InyoPools Product Specialist Lennox H.

Mary, It depends on how much resistance is on the pump, but base on 40ft of head or resistance this pump can generate about 135 GPM.
