Video was well thought out. 2nd person as cameraman. Knowledgeable presenter. Pump & motor are reposition so viewer can see what is going on. Important details, specific tools, hints are mentioned. Very professional job. AWESOME!
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
Perfect, subscribed and will tell friends, etc. if any still know how to swim? Seriously excellent work and you really simplify even for those who been away from this kinda work for a while, like ten years!
Very professional in both content and knowledge as well as presentation!!!
THANK YOU!!!
His videos were explained in full detail, easy to understand and direct . Thank you .
Thank you. Very easy to follow and helped me out. I agree with those that appreciated how succinct your directions were without lots of extra unnecessary chatter!
The best pool pump video. i just watched someone replace a pump and they put metal side down on the shaft. I did too and now have a leak. thank you for helping me find my leak!
What an excellent tutorial. All the little things -- tighten up evenly, don't use screwdriver to pop seal -- included. Well done.
Thank you. Easy to follow and understand with no extra verbiage.
Thank you for an excellent explanation. Your videos are a big help.
Thank you I just changed my seal on my pump. It was a simple procedure with the help of your video🙏
Excellent tutorial! Thank you. The task took about 2 hours due to a stuck seal on the shaft, but some WD-40 and elbow grease took care of that.
Strangely, the pump sounds quieter now, as well as holding water when turned off. I'll take that as a bonus.
Very well organized shop. Thanks for sharing..
Thank you so much for the video. It helped so much and we’re no longer leaking !
Great video you saved me some money here I’m a novice at this pool stuff and this simple video saved me a few hundred bucks… TY from Miami!
Excellent tutorial for this process. Much appreciate the guidance. Cheers.
Excellent video and instruction.
This was the best information for rebuilding my pool pump, Thank you
Great video. Also could apply to replacing motor.
Thanks Mark worked like a glove
Good instructions
Great tutorial changed my seal easily
Excellent vid. I always appreciate those that will share info that will help do-it-your selfers. I am a first time pool owner this year and have watched many of your well made vids to help educate me on what I'm dealing with. This subscriber gives ya a thumbs up
😂
Very good video. I enjoyed that!
Thank you...really helped
Thank you

EXCELLENT!
Thank you!!!

Wish my workshop was as organized As yours
Guess I do too many projects after a few too many beers lol
Ola amigo gracias Dios te bendiga 👍
Great video!!! I'm upgrading my pentair pump to variable speed motor so I will replace seals to the old pump. What kind of lube do you recommend for shaft seal and o-rings? Thanks
Here is a link to the lube, thanks for watching.

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?
Yes, l would agree. Thanks for watching.
Excellent video. Do you have any tips on how to remove the old seal bearing if it is seized to the shaft?
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.
MY PENTAIR MODEL NO 340039 LOST SUCTION WHICH I NEED TO FIX THANK
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.
The reverse threaded screw on the impeller can also be removed with a flat head screwdriver. Thanks for watching.
Great video. I followed the procedure but when hooked back up my pump won’t prime/suck water in. Any suggestions?
If everything is put back together properly you should be able to prime. If you are still having an issue, l did make a video on how to prime your pump. Here is the link for that video, hopefully this will help. Thanks for watching.

I have a 2hp SuperFlo on my spa. I assume I have to drain it to a level below the pump before I take the motor off?
yes, in most cases you will have to drain or lower the water unless you have shutoff valves. Thanks for watching.
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
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.
I am having issue getting the right size inside seal for my pump I have obtained two different ones. One is way to big the other is just a hair to large. My pump model is SFN12A and suggestion what to order and where to get the right one
If this a Pentair Superflo 2021 and prior here is the link for the shaft seal.

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.
Having a lot of trouble finding the seal kit (and o-rings) for this on your site
The seal set and other parts for this pump is linked in the description of this video down below. If you have any questions feel free to contact me, I will be glad to help.
as you remove motor and electric components , do you have to reset every thing ?
No, 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.
Can I use a superflo pump to replace a whisperflo pump?
Yes, both pumps are similar just make sure they are the same horse power.
How to change O ring for the lid .the clear see through lid.
Best way is to use a small flat head screwdriver to get the o-ring out.
What brand of lubricant are you using?
In this video i used Magic Lube. Here's the link.
www.hallmarkpoolsupplies.com/p-6239-1-oz-magic-lube.aspx
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.
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.
Thank you for your help my pump makes noise could you help me thanks
What kind of noise is your pump making?
@@HallmarkPoolSupplies Hi since he did not answer and my neighbors exact 196239 model is making a high pitch sound I will ask :)
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.
@@HallmarkPoolSupplies Thank you! It's coming up on 5 years this July. I might consider replacing the bearings for him as I have worked on a couple well pumps, if I could source the parts. Worst case I did find the same pump on line for $411.40
I can’t get the first shaft seal off. It’s like it’s corroded to the shaft
The seal will come off, you may have to use a pair of pliers and wiggle it off. Thanks for watching.
What is the size of the seal for a 1.5hp?
It depends on the pump, not all seal sets are the same. Just make sure you get the right seal set that is made for your pump. Thanks for watching.
@@HallmarkPoolSupplies is the same one like in your video
The Pentair SuperFlo is 5/8”.
@@HallmarkPoolSupplies arrange thanks a lot. I'm going to give this try. You're the best
Different motor. And no impeller screw? 35-5067? Of course it appears the motor completely different has some spring gadget I guess for a motor trip of some sort. Century motor.
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
Oh shut up.
@@SPaddy-fb7hy why so mad, I do pool repairs for a living, I'm just sharing what I've learned from other pool repair techs in the 15 plus years I've been in the industry
@@jesseteran9648 You think you know better than this guy? LOL There's always an idiot saying "I know better" congrats that's great, now go make your own video. Armchair quarterback.
Never touch the white ceramic oring
Svenska
Are u supposed to touch the sealing surface with ur fingers? I heard different
You will be fine. Thanks for watching.
You didnt replace the backside seal or didnt show it.
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)
