I have a whisperflo WF23 and I'm looking for a replacement. I think this model is no longer available, do you have a replacement.

Hello.  The Pentair Whisperflo model WF-23 is no longer being manufactured.  The Department of Energy Energy Conservation Standards for Dedicated Purpose Pool Pumps, effective July 2021,  mandates variable speed pool pumps for all new pool construction and as replacement for existing pool pumps (as necessary).  Inventories of single-speed pool pumps are dwindling.  The WF-23 is not available through INYO Pools.  An internet search identified several sources for the WF-23.   Swimming Pool Depot       The variable speed replacement pump would be the Pentair SuperFlo® VS 1.5 HP Variable Speed Pool Pump - EC-342001

Are you wanting to replace the complete pump or replacing just the motor and shaft seal. The motor replacement is USQ1072.

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?
 Reply

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.
