Thanks for sharing this video. I'm actually replacing the motor on my SuperFlo pump, and this was helpful for disassembly and reassembly.

I've done this twice to my pool pump. This video much easier than the first one I watched years ago. Very straightforward and succinct doesn't waste your time with a lot of chatter. I appreciate that when you're trying to get something accomplished. Thanks for the video

Excellent video. Do you have any tips on how to remove the old seal bearing if it is seized to the shaft?

@HallmarkPoolSupplies 11 ай бұрын

Sometimes this happens and it can be a little difficult removing the old seal. Use a pair of pliers to help wiggle and pull off the seal. You can also use a little WD-40 this should help. Lightly sand and lube the shaft before installing the new seal to insure a good fit. Thanks for watching.

@chucklakes2345 5 ай бұрын

Great video! Do you recommend always changing the seals anytime you have to work on your motor. For example, if I change the bearings, is it a no brainer to change the seals as well?

So i do pools, and im working on this pump, few things are off maybe you would know why? The shaft needs a 7/16th wrench to hold it still, the impeller reverse thread nut needs a nut driver thats bigger than 3/8ths.

I've always been taught to not touch the white ceramic part of the seal with your barehands. Is that false? Or doesn't the oil from our skin damage if quicker over time

Handling the seals is fine, however chemicals and improper water balance will do more damage to the seals over time.

Hi, quick question, have you seen the impeller being the reason for a leak? I had a pool company come out replace the gaskets and I still have a leak and they're saying it is the impeller. Just asking cuz I'm starting to get deep into this project. Thank you

@HallmarkPoolSupplies Жыл бұрын

Usually it's the seals unless the impeller is cracked. If the impeller is damaged and needs to be replaced, you would then need to change the seals as well. Thanks for watching.

My superflow motor old bearing was a 6203, but a new 6203 won't fit on. The shaft is clean. I swear both bearings read 6203. In fact I got four new bearings and all are too small for the rear shaft although they fit the front nicely. What to do? There was a noticeable difference in the size of the bearing inner races, I think .62" for the new and .635 for the old. Makes no sense to me.

I would take it a motor shop and let them redo the bearings for you.

@jacksmachine1874 4 ай бұрын

I replaced the housing and the bottom bolts are extremely tight before screwing all the way. Leaving a tiny gap at the bottom where it connects to motor. It will not close. The seal pushes too hard against it.

@HallmarkPoolSupplies 4 ай бұрын

Some of the older pumps used 2 long bolts and 2 short bolts when connecting the motor to the housing. Make sure the long bolts are on the bottom and short on the top. If you have this exact pump in the video then you can lube the large o-ring and the diffuser o-ring on your motor, this will allow you to easily put the motor and housing together. Tighten all bolts evenly, so you can draw the motor bracket evenly to the housing. Do not over tighten. Good luck, thanks for watching.

If your pump is making a loud noise, it’s probably the bearings. Depending on the age or condition of the motor it can be repaired. If your motor is over five years old I would replace. If you opt to repair get an estimate so you can compare cost.

You can hold the impeller with your hand to remove the reverse screw, also you really don't want to touch the face of the white ceramic seal while pushing it in to place, the grease from your fingers is not good to get on it, you're better off pushing it in place with a clean piece of paper

You are referring to the slinger, this is not part of the seal set. The manufacturer should include the slinger with the seal set, however the slinger is usually never replaced, this is probably why its not included. (good point)
