FYI i unsubbed because you added music. Its annoying, makes it hard to hear you and I just don't want to hear music in a informative video. I hope you either stop adding music or stop making videos. Best of luck
Owners must be really lucky to have someone who is so knowledgeable and passionate about their job. Glad you get to make these videos and educate the mass public on pool safety.
Been rebuilding pumps for the last 20+ years. Good job. A couple of suggestions, get a three jaw puller to remove the bearings. I also use a little bit of silicone grease (in a tube) on the shaft when installing the seal. The grease makes it slide easier and when the seal goes to seat, it will allow the spring to apply proper tension against the hard face. Don't forget the never-seize for the bolts.
Thank you for the advice sir. Pullers for sure. We use on the big motors ND shafts for sure. And of course, gotta Lube the shift. I did for reinstalling the new parts.
Thanks for sharing! Is there some sort of drain that prevents that concrete hole the pump is sitting in from filling up with water if the seal were to fail? I assume if water got in that motor it would be a problem x)
I work in the pool industry as well and it pays to have experience in mechanics. I'm an automotive tech and it's helped me wonders working on the mechanical side of things.
dude your passion for your job, is simply amazing and inspiring to watch bro! your bosses and the owner's of the water park, should be proud to have even a hard worker like you.... on there roster! you have always seemed very educational in every single video produced! anyone to be that instructive must be a god at there job! every video so far... that you said you was gonna make. Has turned into being an amazing journey. Most of the people in the united states... don't really understand what it takes to do a job like this, and when you do the job, the community doesn't see what's going on in the closed season behind the fence! your a very instructional guide... to a very unique interest that we all love and enjoy! I work 2 jobs to support my family, when i come home... i get excited to actually see if you have a new video out or not! just a sensational channel mate! Thanks for doing what you do, and thanks for keeping waterparks safe for family's to enjoy! your simply amazing guy!
If those bearings are regular roller bearings they won't take a thrust load too well. A flanged taper roller type may work better. Also if you were using a polyurea for the motors and mix w a lithium it can turn into a clay. Something I've done...Fun to watch this channel.👏🏼
Is the part under the water where the shaft goes into not some sort of bearing? That shaft looks badly scored, maybe getting excessive resistance from it causing premature failure?
@@thepoolguy awesome, love that safety is such a high priority for yall. I noticed that when you were cutting the bearing race off. Its Nice to see the commercial/industrial side of things as i just do residential maintenance
Love your vids! Gonna second the comment about dialing back the background music while you're speaking. Also the wide shot of you unbolting the pump could have benefitted from a timelapse/speed up or more editing.
The video quality seemed perfectly fine to me, lower volume on the background music would be much appreciated though. Love the content either way! A fan of AvE is a fan on mine 😂🤙
Hey, I love the videos. I personally have some hearing issues that make it difficult to isolate your voice from music tracks, and it would be much easier to hear if when you are speaking there isn’t background music playing.
Would be nice to see a residential river flow used for pt in a pool. Alternately it can be used as a in pool slide ride. Two sides curved and pushing water through enough you can walk against current. Just need a home and pool!
Okay I do pool service work in Chicago Illinois, we obviously have to shut down and winterize outdoor pools cause it’s gonna get below freezing for and extended period of time, why does your park and other water parks in Texas not run year round I thought you guys have warm weather year round?
A lot (all) pools/water parks nationwide rely heavily (entirely) on cheap labor (life guards and food service) from high school and college students who are readily available in the summer months when they are out of school. And just because it isn’t freezing doesn’t mean people want to go to water park.
Look for a thrust bearing to help with the vertical loading the prop creates or check the bushing isn't worn allow the shaft bearing to absorb the load. 1 of those two will solve your problem. I assume the possibility of a bent shaft has already been eliminated.
How fast is this pump running, because this one is on a drive. maby the bearing is running too slow with your old grease And it is not getting to the operating temperature of the grease
Uncle Bumblefuc. I don’t know anything about this kind is work, but I know some bearings are designed to only work in a horizontal or vertical orientation. Just a thought.
You should think about getting yourself one of those battery operated impact drills. It would make it much faster when you need to take stuff like this apart. They'd make it faster to put back together too. The music is way too loud.
Just my opinion, the music is fine, just needs to be brought down somewhere between 30-50% in volume. Heck even 75% with commentary while your working would be pretty cool, but that adds alot of work to the video. Keep it up though, love this channel.
Those auto-greasers are meant to supply the ongoing 'maintenance dose' of grease. At install, the bearing still needs it's 'initial dose' (from a grease gun), then let the auto-greaser keep it topped up on an ongoing basis.
I bet the longevity of the bearing has not increased by the change in grease type. Your bearing is not sitting perpendicular to the shaft, you can see this after the new bearing is installed when you spin the plate it is attached to starting at 17:20 in the video. This will cause the shaft to wobble, you can see evidence of this on the bottom of the shaft at 18:28 with all the scaring. I would think a closer examination of the housing the shaft sets in will show wear on it as well.
Buy a nice hydraulic press 5ton and a nice torch to heat the bearing a little bit. Then force it off with the press. It's way faster and way easier then grinding it off, and also less change of damaging the axle.
Your "editing music" (DX7 FM Synth pad) covered some of your voice describing the pulled impeller. Foot isn't sure you need music to cover time-lapse or other sections as this appears to be a good technical video. However, if you choose to move forward with music, make sure it ducks under your VO. Otherwise! Thanks for posting. Always wanted to know how a waterpark is maintained. Inside scoop!
Why didn't you use proper Lock Out - Tag Out LOTO when you are taking the motor and impeller out of the pit? You have a spot on the switch gear right next to you where you are working to lock out the motor.
Hey Team, I apologize for the shaky video, I have a new camera and I guess I messed up the stabilization setting. I will do better next time...
....and apparently I still need to work on audio balancing, please forgive me, I'm a pool guy, not a video editing specialist.
Still enjoying the video! And the quality is great. Keep it up!

Just wanted to let you know that you may want to turn down the back ground music so we can hear what you are saying
This. I actually had to check to see if I had another tab playing music over this one it was so loud.
AYE? DID YOU SAY SOMETHING SONNY??

I see you're men of culture as well. Love the skookum content lately, keep up the good work!
Love your videos. I want to visit Texas JUST so I can come to your park!
Great AvE reference! I watch that guy's channel a bunch.
Ave, back out west in Canada. That dude is hilarious. Enjoy watching both your channels!
Much appreciated
He’d melt in Houston ...or do too many tequila shots and suffer.

Steve Summers is just refurbishing a machine where grease was put in an oil zerk. Fascinating channel I’d recommend if you enjoy aVe.
That’s a neat little choocher there!

Love that look when the circlip goes springing sproinging
I don't normally complain. But that Music and timelapse was excruciating to watch. Still fascinating to see how you run the water park.
Hey! There you are! 😊 just hanging out with your wrenches and your impeller! That's quite a challenge putting that back together.

That bearing set looks so good, it must be a Cockford-Ollie.

good ol AVE I wonder if he`s seen this video
Loving the 'Safety flip-flops' your mate has going on :D
Known by AVE as "Chinese Work Boots"... :-)
A whole box of jeezless clips! And our favorite libation... brake clean
Wow you've really upped your quality! It feels like a documentary!👍
Is the part under the water where the shaft goes into not some sort of bearing? That shaft looks badly scored, maybe getting excessive resistance from it causing premature failure?
Thankfully that's just your pump shaft in a vice!
The once guys videos that I wait and am genuinely excited for a new one to come out
Great video. Thanks for posting this. Have a nice day.
Do you LOTO when doing repairs on motivators or pumps?
Absolutely
@@thepoolguy awesome, love that safety is such a high priority for yall. I noticed that when you were cutting the bearing race off.
Its Nice to see the commercial/industrial side of things as i just do residential maintenance
These longer videos are cool. Love the content you guys out out.
Love your vids! Gonna second the comment about dialing back the background music while you're speaking. Also the wide shot of you unbolting the pump could have benefitted from a timelapse/speed up or more editing.
Or used an impact to get the bolts out quicker
The video quality seemed perfectly fine to me, lower volume on the background music would be much appreciated though. Love the content either way! A fan of AvE is a fan on mine 😂🤙
Good Old Ave, i've found myself using a few of his sayings, good times
Hey, I love the videos. I personally have some hearing issues that make it difficult to isolate your voice from music tracks, and it would be much easier to hear if when you are speaking there isn’t background music playing.
Can you make those motivators run faster to make the water move faster and create a "unlazy" river?
Came for the pool content, stayed for the AvE quotes.
Keep your man log in a vice! Lol love the ref man!
I need to apply here. I’m right down the road from this park.
Interesting stuff there, I never seen many lazy rivers before.
Music is a bit too loud maybe dial back the ambient music
Yup, I got to work on it. Thank you sir
Agreed!
Love seeing the more mechanical side of park maintenance! Out of curiosity what the names of the music used in the video?
Would a ducted propeller move more water or do you just change the propeller pitch with another one?
Would be nice to see a residential river flow used for pt in a pool. Alternately it can be used as a in pool slide ride. Two sides curved and pushing water through enough you can walk against current. Just need a home and pool!
Quite the scokkum motor... :-) I love Uncle BF!
You seem to have quite a team down there =D 2 Guys watching while 1 guys does the job. heheh

It's the staff that's hard to keep.

And just because it isn’t freezing doesn’t mean people want to go to water park.
@@naturalorang3 this is accurate. Plus, in Texas, fall sports is king, and everything else pretty much is pushed to the side.
At 5:20, the music is masking your explanation. Maybe next time lower the music or remove it for those sections
Yup, missed this one in the editing room.. thanks friend
AVE is a funny guy, he knows a lot of stuff
He really is intelligent, and he is humble about it.

maby the bearing is running too slow with your old grease
And it is not getting to the operating temperature of the grease
You realize you said "treat especial" while you had your shaft in the vice right LOL!
WELL DAMN! It didn't occur to me, that's amazing
I only have one question.
Is the unit lockout tagout.
Those blue motors are stupid heavy.
Why you crying 😢
Uncle Bumblefuc.
I don’t know anything about this kind is work, but I know some bearings are designed to only work in a horizontal or vertical orientation. Just a thought.
I should think be the manufacturers know this
Big fan of the Uncle Bumble
why don't you use a stainless bearing to avoid the rust issue?
Do you run the filters 24 x7?
Yes we do
You should think about getting yourself one of those battery operated impact drills. It would make it much faster when you need to take stuff like this apart. They'd make it faster to put back together too. The music is way too loud.
Just my opinion, the music is fine, just needs to be brought down somewhere between 30-50% in volume. Heck even 75% with commentary while your working would be pretty cool, but that adds alot of work to the video. Keep it up though, love this channel.
Never forget to "Keep your wotsit in the thingy". All hail Lord Ave... Arduino versus evil we salute you sire
Looked a lot like the graphite/ceramic seals I just replaced in my spa motor wet ends :)
Those auto-greasers are meant to supply the ongoing 'maintenance dose' of grease. At install, the bearing still needs it's 'initial dose' (from a grease gun), then let the auto-greaser keep it topped up on an ongoing basis.
How long does it take to turn on the whole water park? Aka all the attractions at the start of the day
About an hour
I bet the longevity of the bearing has not increased by the change in grease type. Your bearing is not sitting perpendicular to the shaft, you can see this after the new bearing is installed when you spin the plate it is attached to starting at 17:20 in the video. This will cause the shaft to wobble, you can see evidence of this on the bottom of the shaft at 18:28 with all the scaring. I would think a closer examination of the housing the shaft sets in will show wear on it as well.
Another great video, always interesting!
Gotta fill them things with the right schmoo
Otherwise, they don't chooch very well
They make an auto greaser does it work for other things
It's hard to beat working in flip flops and shorts. :D
What is the automatic greaser your using, and where can I order one?
Mcmaster carr has them.
Do u ever like jump in the water and relax for break? Here in japan i do but boss dont mind
Really nice video, i follow you from italy 🔝🇮🇹. How it is called the soundtrack that start at 2:20 ?🖒
Can you show us the trapdoor slides please? Also, great video!
is that pump the same as a regular pump from the pump house?
Motor is a TEFC but the pump is a propeller driven and not impeller driven
Buy a nice hydraulic press 5ton and a nice torch to heat the bearing a little bit. Then force it off with the press.
It's way faster and way easier then grinding it off, and also less change of damaging the axle.
could it just be the orientation of the pump, as to why that grease doesn't work ??? just wondering
also a weather cover might help a bit too
I see you’re a man of culture. Uncle bumblefuck is a wise man from Canuckistan
"Uncle Owen! This ones got a bad Motivator."

It's a 10hp, WEG. Weighs about 90lba
Why didn't you use proper Lock Out - Tag Out LOTO when you are taking the motor and impeller out of the pit?
You have a spot on the switch gear right next to you where you are working to lock out the motor.
Who said I didn't LOTO the VFD?
Flip flop safety shoe?
thank you for the video, cool to see how this stuff works.
You already know I’m here to yell at you for using the chrome socket on the impact... you know better 😂
Well, what had happen was..... 😳
This videos are amazing
