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!!

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?

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.

We have an American Products #38438200 pump and I'll be ordering a new motor. I'd also like to get a tune up kit and wanted to confirm that this is the correct one for our pump. Thanks.

Hi Dave, Yes this is the correct Tune Up Kit for the American Products #38438200 Ultra Flo pump.

I'm replacing the motor with p/n ECM16SQU and a GOKIT. The Pump is model # 38468400 American Ultra-flo. Is this the correct one?

Yes, that would be the correct seal kit for your Ultra Flo and that variable speed motor would be a good replacement for that pump. You will just want to make sure that your impeller is going to be the correct size for the new motor. Also, if you are going up in horsepower with that motor, you will want to make sure that your filter will be able to handle the increase flow rate that the extra horsepower will be putting out. If you need any further help let me know.

The usual tags on the pump have faded over the years. I THINK I can make out model # 38448200. The motor went out yesterday and I need the parts to do the R & R. Will this kit do the job?

Based on the 38448200 part # you have an Ultra Flow pump and this tune up kit would be the proper kit for you.

I have an American Products pump #382958; - which is the correct tune-up kit?

Hi, Tom. I was not able to cross reference pump # 382958 to a specific American Products Pump. Please send pictures of the housing so that we can identify the pump and get you the correct tune up kit if one is available.

Hi, Douglas. This Tune Up Kit will only fit the American Products Ultra Flo Pump. The pump you have, we do not have a tune up kit for.

Will this kit work with purex ultra flow?

Hello Joseph, the GOKIT20 will work with either the AMERICAN PRODUCTS ULTRA FLO or the ANTHONY POOLS SUPERFLOW.
