A booster pump is required for certain Polaris pressure-side cleaners. Just like your swimming pool pump, they require periodic maintenance such as changing the shaft seal. A leaking shaft seal should be replaced as soon as possible to avoid damage to the motor.

Azriel928 - A good silicone caulk can be bought at any hardware store. Go with a name brand like GE. Make sure it is a silicone caulk and not acrylic. Follow the drying instructions on the product. Some can take up to 24 hours.Reply

Can you recommend a good silicone caulk? How long do I need to let it dry before turning the pump on?Reply

pool owner - Yes, we recommend both. Silicon caulk is a sealant; silicon lube is a lubricant.Reply

So, the silicone caulk in step 13 is different than the silicone lube in subsequent steps, correct? And so even if I buy a tune up kit with silicone lube included, I need to supply my own silicone caulk as well, correct? Thanks.Reply

bambruski - We recommend either a silicon-based lubricant or the newer Teflon-based lubricant.Reply
