OUTSTANDING video--one of the best I've seen. You have everything set up, all the right tools, a good cameraperson, and you walk us through the whole troubleshooting process step-by-step. Language and explanations are pitched exactly right--not too high level, nothing skipped, nothing extraneous. Fantastic!

Thank you very much! Well done! Very clear explanations.

I love "How To" videos like yours. It makes my DIY approach to fixing things much easier. And, YES, if you lived in my neighborhood, I would not hesitate to call you for spa service I could not do myself.

I hit "Like" button because you are experienced, a great teacher, and gave up some hard-earned secrets. Thanks!

Thanks for caring enough to provide details :) I watched another video and kept having to pause it and rewind to catch important info the was glossed over.

This was a super informative video. Love seeing well put together videos that are simple for guys who kno NOTHING of this world! Thank you

I really enjoyed your leaking pump video very helpful in many ways, and excellent clarity and presentation!

EXCELLENT! I WISH I HAD VIEWEDTHIS BEFORE I STARTED!

I agree, this video was fantastic! Excellent presentation!! Thank you!

Thank you for a fantastic video. Answered many questions I had. I appreciate your business attitude towards helping the customer and empowering them with knowledge.

Thanks Mike (@KrossberPools), very informative. Just a regular homeowner who had to replace the wet end on his pump. Learned a lot about hot tub plumbing from watching youtube videos like yours, made me feel more at ease! Thanks again!! In my case, I was in the 1% that had my leak in the faceplate on the wet end (was easy to spot when the pump was running).

Excellent tutorial and saving me hundreds of dollars!

Great Video, great production and all around fantastic. Thanks for the time, this will keep many in hot water!! blessings to you and yours.

Thanks for this! Had a leak and was able to take care of it myself- problem turned out o be the o-ring in one of the pump intakes.

thanks for the tips and the show. I had the cc on and had a good laugh at the closed caption on time 12:56... thanks again.

Nice video, just subscribed

Very informative video. Great job! I will visit again!

Thanks, very good demo, was a big help!

Great video & even better person thanks my friend much appreciated !

Just what I needed to know , thank you !!

Thanks for great explanation. I have a 1/8hp Iron Might recirc pump on my Freestyle model 255(Sunrise?) that began making noticable noise. Normally runs very quiet 24/7. On exam i noted there was a small leak under the shaft, most likely seals. Took the motor out and replace in kind but saved the old one for a hobby job. The shaft had noticeable rust on the visible part between wet end and motor. Some white calcium or other dried on mineral substance maybe from spray and dehydration? Anyway, when taking the impeller off which was really on tight, it looks like i cracked some of the plastic on the impeller because the brass nut is slightly visible. Should I replace the impeller even if it goes back on the shaft easily and spins straight, or just replace. Also, when I spin the shaft there is some rubbing sounds and some friction, not a lot. I dont know if this means the bearings are shot and also need replacement? Couldnt find your video that shows the bearing replacement, can you point me in the right directions. Thanks for all the great presentations. Saved my time and headaches!

Very informative 👍ty

Mine is leaking at the union on the face plate (where the union joins the face plate mentioned @ 3:29). It only drips when not under pressure, but REALLY drips when the jets kick on. Is this the O-ring on the face plate? Thanks.

killer video...top man mike cheers

Thank you. I have a Pump Seal leak. How does one find the correct “Pump Seal”

Can the rinse line fitting be installed on the side instead of top? We have a thread problem in the top location.

Hi guys I'm watching your videos all the time , great tips ! , I like to ask you I'm loosing water in my pool wile the pump is working only ,I'm losing about 100 gallon in 1 houre when the pump is on , any idea if I have a leak ? And where could it be ? Thanks

ours is leaking where to white thing is. do we have to drain the tub then put in a new gasket?

Wow great video! I took my faceplate off and found that there actually was a crack on the inner part of that faceplate but I have no idea how it got there (I have pics) but it is pretty obvious I have been over chlorinating my spa for about a year. All the black plastic inner parts are bleached white. My question is can I send that down a bit and epoxy it to fix the crack? Will the chlorinated water break down the epoxy? I think the stop and start of the crack can be sealed but love to hear your opinion!

I have that exact pump and need to change the wet end. It has been leaking through the shaft seal for a while now and it is thoroughly corroded. For the life of me I can't get the impeller to budge. Any advice for removing tenaciously stuck impellers?

I am in the uk and can't find a single website etc which sell the rinse line fittings, any links etc would be very much appreciated. Thank you for the video, the rinse line fitting was cracked!

How do you keep from a over chemical leak that ruins a pump thanks I don’t want to ruin another pump and motor

Hi there, mate,I have a balboa control unit, And the flow was not working as strong as it should. I thought it was the pump, The jet button when pressing started to stop working and just become to have a mind of its own. I notice once the pump started without pressing any button and once just stopped also. So because I was not getting much flow, first bought a new impellor, because the other one was destroyed. Did not solve the problem, still low flow. Now I have installed a new pump, And the same problem. So there was nothing wrong with the original pump. Now I installed the new pump today, normally it goes on PR for about 7 minutes then it all starts up normally. So when I put the breakers on, the pump was running on low speed, Straight away, that was strange, never done that before when PR is starting up the on process but is a new pump. The jet button stopped working again with a clicking sound coming from the Balboa control box. Could this just be a fuse problem, possibly. or a relay ,what does a relay look like ? I am dumbfounded here. So now it is not the pump or capacitor, all new so , ruled out. The heating element is all fine and working, all checked there.I have a video ,if you were interested to look at.

Thanks for a very informative video. I have a Sundance Denali that is leaking from the shaft. the tub is 4 yrs old and I also figured I'd give her a new impeller and gaskets on whatever i take apart. That will cost me around 50 and a new pump is around 275. Would you go ahead and rebuild it as long as everything comes apart relatively nicely or would you recommend changing the entire pump based on its age and I have to take it apart anyway?

How often should you replace the shaft seal?

Hi, how can I buy an impeller and mechanical seal? I'm from Mexico

Leaking out of my o ring. Going to try that other gasket, I have a spare one.

How much would your normally charge for a Pump seal replacement? Or how much should we expect to pay to have this done by a pro?

U mite want to stick to pools and not spas.that barb on the front of the pump with the clear hose goes to an air line in the tub to vent the air out of the pump when filling the tub up.so you don't get a air lock.

Where I live, they just replace the entire pump!!!
