Why should I purchase the heavy duty seal?
 Reply

A  Answered on 1/17/2012 by InyoPools Product Specialist Patrick P.

The heavy duty shaft seal features carbon graphite, stainless steel, and Viton rubber. The properties of this seal contribute to the resistance of chemical corrosion. This is the best choice for salt chlorine generators or ozonators.

should I replace the seal every time I replace the motor?
 Reply

A  Answered on 6/11/2016 by InyoPools Product Specialist Patrick P.

Yes we suggest replacing the shaft seal whenever you replace your motor as the old seal sometimes does not mate up properly with the new motor. Also the warranty on the motor is voided is there is leaking to due the seal.

It will depend on the model of your pump, not your motor. The motor can go to several different model pumps, so would need to know the model of your pump to determine the correct shaft seal.

What is the difference between a chlorine pool and a soft water with regard to the seal?
 Reply

A  Answered on 7/4/2018 by InyoPools Product Specialist Alex V.

Dan, Salt-water is more corrosive to equipment so it is recommended to use a heavy duty shaft seal. Other wise, the seal will fail prematurely and cause damage to the motor.

Just want to confirm that this is the same as SPX2700SA, but for saltwater pools.

Hi, Michael. This PS-3867 is NOT the same as the SPX2700SA. The Shaft Seal, Viton 5/8" - PS-3890 is the generic heavy duty option.

What is the correct shaft seal replacement part for a Hayward Super pump II with a salt system. The service technician will replace all the required O-rings. If I purchase a replacement motor and a new shaft seal, is there anything else that I need to purchase for the tech. (besides O-rings)

It sounds like you have all of the commonly needed items. The saltwater shaft seal for the Super II is 5250-235.

I have a PEA6F-182L model with C103-193P Seal Plate, C105-137PEB impeller and USQ1152 Motor. Just want to be sure this is the correct seal. The "Seal Plate Kit - C203-193P" showed a different seal.

A  Answered on 11/11/2020 by InyoPools Product Specialist Hector F.

Hi Chris, yes this is the correct shaft seal for the Sta-Rite Dura Glas/ Max E Glass pump series. Just keep in mind that if you have the copper cone insert in the seal plate then it will need to be removed for this shaft seal to fit.

Is this the proper shaft seal for Century 1.5 HP Square Flange 56Y Up Rate Motor - B2854? Is there a salt water substitute for GOKIT78?
 Reply

A  Answered on 4/27/2021 by InyoPools Product Specialist Craig C.

Hello Richard.  Additional information would be necessary in order to determine if this is the correct shaft seal for your project.  Shaft seals are specific to the pool pump manufacturer and pump model, not the motor itself.    If you could provide pump manufacturer and model information, a determination could be made as to the correct shaft seal replacement.  There is no saltwater substitute for the GOKIT78.  A heavy-duty shaft seal (saltwater pools) is available separately:  PS-3867   Pump Shaft Seal Heavy Duty (Saltwater Pools) - PS-3867

Good afternoon Marc, That part number 5250-210 is not the correct shaft seal based on the information you provided. If you have a pb4-60 then the correct shaft seal would be the  Pump Shaft Seal PS-1000, Heavy Duty (Saltwater Pools) - PS-3865
