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.

I have a Sta-Rite 1 hp pump. Model number PRA6E 147L Code EOOZ.
I want a tune up kit for this pump. What one do I need to order.

We have a Flotec Pump Model# AT251501-01. Our pool maintenance guy said we need to replace the Impellar & Diffuser Housing parts.
Can you please let me know which parts those are so I can purchase thru here?
Thanks,

Pump: AT251001-01
Is this the right kit and is it okay to use in saltwater pools?
Thanks.

Hi Patrick, yes based on AT251001-01 the GOKIT44 would be the correct unit. However, for the seal we would recommend adding the Shaft Seal PS-201V, 3/4" Shaft Size (PS-201V-CMS) PART # 35-423-1096.

My pump is making a loud noise and has loss suction in skimmer and filter, will replacing these pieces help?

Hello, If your pump is making noise, the motor bearing may have failed. If that's the case, replacing the seals will not fix the issue. Please review our Why Is My Pool Pump So Loud? blog.

Is this the correct kit for A.O Smith SQ1202?

Could you send us a few photos of your pump and motor? Please take a close up shot of the motor label as well as a wide shot of the complete pump to include the pipes going in and out of the pump. To supply photos simply click the reply link below and upload your photos. Once we get those photos we can make the proper recommendation.

Hi, I have a sta rite model DJAFC-3103D that is leaking. Is this the correct kit for that pump? If not, do you have a kit for that pump? Thanks.

Hi Chris, this Sta-Rite Dura Jet pump series does not actually have a seal kit per se however key numbers 4 and 5 on this parts diagram would be the most commonly replaced seals when tuning up this pump.
