complete teardown and rebuild of a 3/4 hp pentair whisperflo pool pump. pump was in extremely rough shape and screaming loud. pulled it all apart, replaced the motor bearings, knocked off all the rust and gave it an aerosol overhaul. ultimately painted the motor blue, repainted the front body housing almond. 2011 model pump, but instead of going in the dumpster it looks like it just shipped from the factory
i do replace the shaft seal and motor bearings, but it's probably not that great of a how to video. i was just holding the camera with my hands, and often needed both hands for the actual procedure. so it's more of a documentary than anything, but i'm sure it shows some relevant steps in how to rebuild a pool pump, especially if it's a pentair whisperflo. i like working on these style whisperflo pumps because they are super common and so it's easy to get parts. like working on a ford or a jeep

The “back half” of the seal behind the impeller is a slinger. I had to look up wtf that was and how it worked lol. I just rebuilt the wet end of mine and found that literally exists as a last line of defense if the ceramic bearings fail. It just sprays the water off the shaft and into the bell housing so it doesn’t get into the bearings. But left long enough the water will find a way

great video, thanks!!! any chance you have a photo of the back side of the wire terminal, mine got burnt up and broke, crappy ventilation, and lots of debri near the pool equipment, not to mention 5 year old bearings 24/7 may through august. L1 and L2 are straight forward, but there is an orange wire that I don;t know where it goes. I see it in this video but can't tell what terminal it is on. New terminal on the way also new bearings, and new thermal protection. Thanks, JC

Ran into issue... snapped the head off the small bolt that holds head to front bearing. Due to corrosion from leak. Does anyone know specs of Bolt size and thread count that I should drill and tap it out at?

Thanks for the video. Because I'm unable to get one last bolt out I can't get the seal plate off. I've tried a heat gun, battery powered impact, Kroil, PBlaster and smacking the ratchet handle with a hammer, nada. Any advice? This is likely due to corrosion on the threads.

The thread landings probably broke off and are spinning. You might have to drill it out and replace the whole seal plate. Mine did so I spent the $60 on a new plate which came with a new seal and gasket

Where do you get the bearings?? Are they all the same for pentair motors?

i got these off amazon, they seem to be decent. $21 for the pair, they are both the same for a whisperflo motor www.amazon.com/XiKe-Precision-Replacement-Whisperflo-Durable/dp/B01GLQXZN0/

They are not always the same. Inyo Pools has a lookup table. Or you can remove them and get the number off of them. Or measure them. You need the inside diameter, outside diameter and the thickness

Good video. But it’s easier to just buy a new motor. That type and size are cheap. And the background noise of the birds or crickets or whatever was almost intolerable!
