Product Description

Hayward Tristar Seal Kit

Standard tune up kit for the Hayward Tristar/EcoStar Pump includes the shaft seal and all o-rings, gaskets, and lubricant.

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.

This Tune Up Kit Works on These Pumps:

  • All Hayward Tristar/TriStar VSP/EcoStar 1/2 HP - 3 HP single and dual speed models.
  • All Hayward SP3200 Series Pumps
  • Works on both standard efficiency and energy efficient Hayward Tristar/EcoStar pumps

Tune Up Kit Includes:

  • Motor Shaft Seal
  • Diffuser Gasket
  • Pump Lid O-Ring
  • Housing Gasket
  • Lubricant

Does the shaft seal included with this work for salt water pools?

Hi, Kyle. The shaft seal that comes with this kit can be used with a saltwater pool.

Would this work on a Power flow LX Pump -SP1580Z2 pool pump. Serial number:28512CH

We actually do not carry a seal kit for that model but you can replace the seals individually that you need. Most commonly the shaft seal and housing o ring are what is replaced. Please click here to view that parts diagram.

Is this seal kit good to use for the century centurion B854 motor
 Reply

If you have the model Hayward Tristar or Ecostar then yes this kit is correct but you cannot use just the motor information to cross reference those seals.

Have a Tristar SP3210X152 that is about a year old and was working great until recently it seems to not have as much suction or pressure going out?It did run without water for about 10min,would an air or internal water leak cause this?Would the seal kit fix the problem? Thanks Steve

Hi, Steve. The pump running dry could be caused by a number of things including a suction leak which can be caused by bad o-rings within the pump. You can start by replacing the seals.

Replaced 1.5 hp motor, new seals were used.

I have done this job before but not often enough to be adept at it. Following the video instruction ensures parts are removed and then reassembled in the correct order. Not a particularly difficult job, just be sure seals are installed in the proper direction, be sure the final bolts are tightened well to prevent leakage

Worn bearing - LOUD

Written on 5/29/2022 by Guest

Long story short, the house we bought had a noisy bearing. I mean LOUD. Our neighbors complained. Overwinter, it seized. Upon recognizing the equipment failure, I ordered these parts intending to replace the bearing and seals, but instead procrastinated and lost these when the time came. Ordering more, will review when complete 👍🏻

Noisy bearing from current pool motor

Written on 1/10/2022 by Guest

I bought this tuneup kit to replace the old shaft seals and gaskets. After disassembling the old motor, all the seals and gaskets that needed replacing are fairly obvious, especially with the video from INYOPools.com. They fit perfectly.

I wanted to change the gaskets.

Written on 6/7/2021 by Guest

The Texas freeze got the better of my pool pump and it needed replacing. I wanted to change the gaskets and have them new along with the pump. They fit the pump perfectly and slipped right into place.

Pump was squealing after the Texas Freeze

Written on 3/11/2021 by Guest

While the pump motor needed new bearings, the pump itself was 8 years old and deserved a new tune up kit.

1.) Turn off the power at breaker
2.) Remove back cover of pump
3.) Test wires for voltage with multimeter and remove from screw terminals
4.) Disconnect plumbing unions from pump and move pump assembly to bench
5.) Remove pump cover with socket & ratchet
6.) Remove impeller cover with screwdriver
7.) Remove left-handed retention screw from impeller
8.) Use strap wrench to remove impeller (was stuck beyond hand-tight)
9.) Remove seal plate and pump seal
10.) Clean all surfaces and replace seal into plate
11.) Add outer spring seal, impeller, impeller bolt, and diffuser plate
12.) Remove old diffuser o-ring and replace with new one from kit
13.) Remove and replace old pump housing seal
14.) Reassemble remaining parts in reverse order.
15.) Place pump back into service by reconnecting plumbing, then electrical
16.) Prime pump, turn on power at breaker and test.

My waterfall pump stopped working.

Written on 5/20/2020 by Guest

After finding a perfect match for my waterfall pump I noticed a tune-up gasket kist was also available for it so I purchased it as well. It was for a Pentair pump and I was replacing a hayward pump.

There were a couple of extra gaskets that I did not need but the other four were perfect fits for the existing gaskets from my bad pump. After replacing everything and putting it back together everything now works like new.

Replacing Pump

Written on 5/18/2020 by Guest

Follow the instructions to replace your pump (each one is different, so follow the instructions for your model).

The seals are an easy replacement - it's a one for one exchange. HOWEVER, do not throw away your old pieces until the completion of the project. Also, take photos at each stage of replacement - some items are turned certain ways and having the photo reference makes for quick and efficient work.
