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
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.

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.

We have recently changed all of our pools and spas over to salt generators. Is it necessary or advisable to change seals and "o" rings? We seem to have started having pump problems.

Hello Ed - We would recommend a salt seal kit for salt chlorinated pools. The seals are more durable and will better protect the pump.

I have a Pentair Whisperflo model WF-26, part #011773. 1.5 HP. The motor is part #177475. The pool has a salt water chlorine generator. Does this package work for my model pump? Can you tell me who makes the seal in your kit? Also I believe based on the noise from the pump, that my motor bearings may be going bad. Do you also sell bearings for this pump motor? If so, which ones are compatible? Thanks!

Hi James, The APCK1027 kit will work if you have a saltwater pool the but saltwater shaft seal will provide additional protection.

If you have the Pentair Whisperflo pump then yes. If you are not sure of the pump model then you can always email us some images of the pump to upload@inyopools.com so we can assist in identifying it.

Does the tiny O-Ring in the GOSALT32 Kit replace the washer Mfg Part No 075713? I can't find any other use for it. If not, I'll need to order the washer too.
This is for the Pentair WF-24 impeller screw
Reply
Hi, Robert. Yes, it will replace Part # 075713.
Reply
Does the washer need to be removed when replacing the seal, and then place just the tiny o-ring on the impeller screw shaft? The o-ring is not the same diameter as the washer; it is smaller. I was sent APCK1027A gokit for Whisperflo WF-26, saltwater pool, which also contains a tiny o-ring, but no washer.

I have a Pentair Variable Speed Ultra Energy Efficient Pump for my salt water pool with what I believe is a bad shaft seal. I would like to replace the shaft seal, Diffuser O-ring, and housing gasket, will this kit work with my model? Are they OEM parts and if not, would I be better off getting OEM parts?

Hi, Dave. This tune up kit will work with the IntelliFlo VS Pump. These aftermarket parts will work just as good as the OEM parts.

I have a Pentair Intelliflo #011018 and after the pump turns off, I am hearing a hissing sounds coming from between where the metal pump attaches to the plastic housing of the strainer basket so I assume I need to replace the seal. I called Pentair and they gave me part #ORK1000V. Is this the same as this kit with part #GOKIT32SALT?

i purchace a go kit 32 salt for my wf-26 wisperflow,does the porcelain side of the seal that goes on the impeller face in towards the impeller or face out. i have checked the tutorials & they dont seem to help.
Hi James, I have attached a photo of the proper orientation. Also, we put together a brief video here which Explains the Porper Orientation of Pool Motor Shaft Seal - Video.
How often would you recommend using a tune up kit on a salt water pool?
Reply
Hi Paul, I recommend using a tune-up kit as soon as the shaft seal begins to show as leaking. That will require regular brief inspections of the pool pump.
