I recently changed my pool motor and gaskets. I made sure to lubricate all the gaskets with vaseline. A few days later water is leaking from the pump. What did I do wrong? Help please!!
Reply
You never want to use vaseline on any rubber gaskets or o-rings. Vaseline is petroleum based and will deteriorate the rubber quickly. Whenever you change the motor on a pool pump it is recommended that you replace the gaskets and shaft seal as well. A >Go-kit contains the shaft seal, packet of non-petroleum based lubricant and gaskets you will need for your pump. If you already have the gaskets, you can purchase >Magic Lube.

My pump is not priming even after cleaning impeller. Will purchasing this kit aid in fixing that problem?
Reply
The seal kit can help with loss of prime. I can't guarantee that it will solve your problem. The loss of prime could be from an air leak at the valves or plumbing in front of the pump.

Strainer or box of jacuzzi magnum plus has a slight crack,and water spurts out.What glue can be used to plug it?
Reply
We do not recommend trying to repair the crack with any type of glue. We recommend replacing the entire housing. Part number 42234506K (5064-052) is the correct replacement housing.

I have a leak between what I would call the motor and the skimmer basket. It is not the outer plastic ring. I was wondering if this was what I should use to try to fix the leak? Also, how hard should it be to pull the 2 pieces apart?

That's where I would start at if there isn't anywhere on your pump housing that's leaking water or cracked. If you haven't changed the seals for a while they that would be a great place to start.

I seem to be leaking water between the motor and pump. Will this tune up kit fix the problem?

what side of the shaft seal should be facing up/out one install "white" ceramic or "black" rubber?
Where or how do you install the Case O-ring?
Reply
Hello, the black rubber should be facing up, the other end is should be siliconed in the seal plate. Please watch our "how to" on how to change shaft seal. http://www.inyopools.com/HowToPage/how_to_change_the_shaft_seal_on_a_hayward_matrix_pump.aspx

Can you provide the thickness dimension on the motor to pump o-ring? I bought a replacement that is 3/16" thick but can't get it to install even with lots of lube, letting the gasket sit in the sun, etc. Can't figure out the issue.
Reply
Yes, the pump housing o-ring has a thickness of 3/16".

My pool pump Jaccuzi Magnum 1500 is running but not pumping water
Reply
Hi, Camille. A few things can cause a pump to run but not circulate water. A clogged impeller, unable to prime, and a bad motor if it sounds like it's running but the shaft isn't spinning. I would recommend taking the pump apart and inspected it. You can also get useful info in our 8 Answers to “Why Is My Pool Pump Not Working?” Blog.

I just received a new sq."O" ring from you for my Jacuzzi Magnum pump, and every time I slip it on to the pump, it slide off. Is there a trick to keeping it on?
Reply
Sometimes using extra O ring lubricant in small globs of it in random spots on the o ring to the pump housing helps to keep it in place.

We may carry the seal kit for your pump but we would need the model name or number of the front pump housing that the motor bolts to. If you cannot locate that model you can always email us a few images of the pump to upload@inyopools.com so we can confirm for you.

I have replaced the spring shaft seal and plastic bearing in my Jacuzzi Magnum. When I tighten the impeller it becomes so tight that the motor won't turn. Am I missing a piece or doing something wrong?
Reply
Hi Edward, these impellers only need to be hand-tightened until their real first resistance. Also if the shaft seal is installed incorrectly it could also cause this. Here is a guide that we put together called "How To Replace a Pool Motor Shaft Seal" that may also assist.
