Part # GOKIT3SALT
Tune up kit for the Hayward Super pump when used with a salt chlorine generator. The heavy duty parts in this kit are designed to withstand exposure to salt.
We highly recommend replacing the shaft seal, o-rings and gaskets when replacing your motor. If you use your old shaft seal, it will not mate up properly with the new motor and may leak. Our tune up kits include the shaft seal and all o-rings, gaskets and lubricant for your pump.

What is the difference between the GOKIT3 and the GOKIT3SALT?
Reply
The GOKIT3SALT includes the heavy duty viton and carbon shaft seal. The heavy duty seals are designed for salt chlorine generators and ozonators.

What is the difference between the salt kit versus chlorine kit technically speaking ?
Reply
Both Gokits will have the same items, except the gokit3 has a standard shaft seal made of standard rubber, the gokit3salt has a shaft seal that is made of VITON which will be able to handle the minerals in a salt pool longer.

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.

I purchased this kit for the Hayward SuperPump SP2610X15. The spring seal is of a different design than the one that came off the pump. The Original spring seal has a rubber section on the bottom and expands over two "nubs" that are on the impeller shaft, and accommodate a ridge/step at the base. The new one will not fit over the impeller shaft, and has no way to accommodate the step. Any help would be appreciated.

Hello Tom - It sounds like you still have a piece of the old shaft seal on the shaft of the impeller. The metal piece with the two nubs needs to be removed from the impeller. Once that is removed, you will be able to install the new shaft seal.

Took the 4 9/16 bolts off pulled the motor off and took the back plate off. Unloosed the capacitor and used a 7/16 wrench to hold the impeller to spin it off. Then all the front Drive train pieces came off. Took the seal off the impeller off and replaced it with the new one

I ordered a Gasket kit via Amazon for my hayward Super pump and two of the gaskets didn't fit. There was no one to really contact about the problem other then return it. I then found INYO Pools and contacted the company.
I immediately found out I needed a different kit for my salt water inground pool. It arrived very quickly, Using the new kit as being able to see their DIY gasket video installation video on youtube I had the motor off gaskets on and motor reassembled in no time!!! Great products and support!
Awesome!

Removed old pump and all gaskets. Lubed new gaskets with silicone that came with the kit. Make sure the graphite side of the shaft seal is going toward the porcelain seal on the other gasket. I made that mistake and it leaked. After turning it around, everything worked perfectly.

1. Called local pool company, they said I had to replace the whole EC-65 unit, pump, and motor...about $700.
2. “Googled” Hayward SuperPump replacement motor, recognized “inyopools.com” because I watched a couple of their repair videos and downloaded their pool care guide, as new pool/ homeowner, previously.
3. “Live Chatted” with Keven, even sending him a photo of the information plate on my bad Hayward SuperPump. He immediately replied with a couple links to order both the correct replacement motor and “GOKIT3SALT” item, and also the accompanying videos that demonstrate the DYI replacement.
4. A few days later me and my iPad made the repairs in about 90”! The new A.O.Smith motor is actually quieter than the original SuperPump!
5. Inyopools.com and Kevin put the family back in the pool in less than a week!
6. Superior customer service, WOW!

Replaced Motor and installed seal kit on Heyward pump for 35,000 gal in-ground pool. Since my recent retirement I now have time to do this work myself saving hundreds of $ by not having to hire it done. The videos and directions were thorough and easy to follow. Take it from a first time, novice, impatient DIYer, if you can follow directions, you too can have the satisfaction of successfully repairing your own equipment and keeping your money invested in your 401K.

(5 out of 5 stars) Salt Water seals
Reviewed By: Edward S. from Audubon, Pa. ()
Pros: pump motor protection
Cons: none
While salt water chlorinator's make it easy to maintain water quality, the slat water can have a negative effect on componets not designed for salt water. Inyo is the only company I have found that actually carries specific seal kits specific to slat water pools

I would strongly suggest that Canadians think twice about ordering from the US. This product cost US$42.95, plus shipping of US$24.44 plus duty, tax and brokerage fee of CAN$37.87. For a total of approximately CAN$$122. WOW!

(5 out of 5 stars) A must when replacing pump
Reviewed By: Michael D. from york sc ()
Pros: easy to install
definitely don't try to reuse the gaskets from the old pump. while the pump basket gasket didn't look bad there was definitely mineral deposits on the internal gaskets. after all that is why the pump failed. protect your new pump with new gaskets.

(5 out of 5 stars) Hayward Super Pump seal kit
Reviewed By: dddesignpres from Clio, MI ()
Pros: Replacemnt seal interchange was flawless
Seal kit worked perfectly. Teardown to reassembly took approx. 1.5 hours. Kit is advertised as an upgrade for saltwater pools, so I paid the extra cash versus other kits I found online. I thought I would try it as my original seal only lasted 2.5 summers. Time will tell if the upgrade was worth it. The key is no more leak... YouTube how to videos were helpful.

Replaced these gaskets while replacing the motor. Be smart and do it all at the same time and don't chance having to go back later.

Ordered this product when ordering my pump motor. Representative inquired as to weather I had a salt or chlorine pool. When I told him I had salt, he recommended this part. What the heck, if you have everything apart, why wouldn't you rebuild the pump.

(4 out of 5 stars) Could use better instructions for pump seal
Reviewed By: Forkevinsake ()
Could not get pump seal onto the impeller. Watched videos online. They made it look easy, but I ended up damaging the new seal and had to order another. Do some research before installing if you are new to this.

I followed the how to guide and the instructions with the product and it worked perfectly. I will have to wait to see if the saltkit3 was worth the extra ten dollars compared with the plain kit3 but it is working with no leaks.

Would have worked great but the shaft on the old pump was so rusted, we had to junk the pump. Will save these seals for the new pump.

Pros: Fast Delivery
Cons: Status on the site only said "processing" the whole time the item was in transit.
The kit was easy to install and stopped the leak. Hopefully it will last longer than the one season of the original seal. Delivery was fast.
