Hello. The shaft seal PS-201 does not fit all Hayward Pumps. It is specific for the Max-Flo, the Super Pump and the Super 2 , of the Hayward line. The shaft seal is determined by the specific pump housing it is going into. Please check this CHART to see which seal goes with the Hayward Pump Model you have.

Thank you for contacting Inyo Pools, Pump Shaft Seal 3/4" PS-201 and if you have a salt pool Pump Seal 201, Extra Heavy Duty PS3868 (Saltwater Pools) - PS-386 are the right seals for your Super pump.

Will the Pump Shaft seal 3/4" PS-201 fit my Hayward pool pump SP3015X202AZ?
 Reply

A  Answered on 12/29/2021 by InyoPools Product Specialist Rich N.

Hi Tom, the Pump Shaft Seal 3/4" PS-201 will be perfect for your Hayward Super II Pump 2 HP Dual Speed - SP3015X202AZ.  We would recommend the Heavy Duty Saltwater Pump Seal PS3868 if you have a saltwater pool. For a few dollars more you can get the Freshwater Tune-Up Kit or the Saltwater Tune-Up Kit which contains the motor shaft seal as well as new o-rings to replace the ones you will encounter when replacing the motor shaft seal and some lubricant to help the o-rings do their job and last a long time.

I have Hayward SP2600VSP pump and can't figure out the correct shaft seal for it. I bought PS-3868, the ceramic side fits but spring side doesn't. The impeller has a stepped shaft that is 3/4" then steps up to about 1", so the new seal cannot get over that step. I think the correct spring side of the seal needs to be 3/4" on the end facing the ceramic and and 1" on the impeller end, seems like that is what the original OEM one is. Do you know what is the correct seal part number?
 Reply

A  Answered on 5/12/2022 by InyoPools Product Specialist Craig C.

Hello.  The Hayward Pump Shaft Seal (OEM) - SPX1600Z2 is the shaft seal for the Hayward Super Pump VS model SP2600VSP.  The PS-3868 is the U. S. Seal Manufacturing compatible shaft seal.  At times, during the removal process, the spring side of the shaft seal comes apart and is not completely removed from the impeller. The spring side metal insert and rubber ring are mistakenly left behind.   Attached please find Impeller 2.5 THP (2HP Full)- SPX1621C product details.  Please scroll through the photos until viewing the reverse side.  The impeller stem should be "clean" from the impeller to the threads prior to the new shaft seal being installed.
