Hayward pool pump seal replacement: Hayward super pump shaft seal replacement: pump bottom leak fix 

Great video dude, very precise & easy to follow. Hardest part was the wiring, and that’s because of the way it was wired at my pump room (inside and hard to access). Had it removed, repaired and replaced in about an hour. Rebuild kit was 20 plus tax, versus 850 for new pump and motor, so THANKS!!! Keep up the good work 😎👍

Thank goodness for RU-vid and people like my man here, saving me hundreds of dollars every time!

Best DIY video on RU-vid for this repair. Thanks for posting.

Saved me a bundle by learning to do it myself from your video! It was good to have a pool dealer who knew exactly the parts I needed, a total of $53 in parts, and my time. Thanks

Thank you, Excellent video! Opening the pool is always a difficult task, at best. Add a problem and it can be expensive. I was able to take my pump apart, install the new parts, and put it back together all in about an hour. Oldman had to rest every now and then. Thank you for the links to Amazon parts, I was about to order them, but decided to shop around the local pool stores to see if I could get them quickly locally. One guy told me he had kits with the exact parts and wanted $58, but he couldn't tell me what was included. Shopped more, and the guy I bought a kit from included all of the seals and a small bit of the Silicon Lube, all for $26, he told me everything in the kit. I bought that kit. The guy I bought from was very happy he didn't have to come and do it, he was swamped. Honest, good man gets the dollar. The Grand Kids will be able to play in Grandma and Papa's pool this weekend! AND we didn't pay $700 for a new pump. I liked, subscribed, and shared the video!

Thanks so much‼️🔥. After 30 years of relying on my top notch Pool Company, I was inspired by your video to attempt DIY. My 1st attempt was unsuccessful as I over tightened the impeller- no worries because you already had covered that issue- after rewatching your excellent video, I was up & running 15 minutes later. I purchased the whole seal/gasket kit on Amazon for $15 next day delivery. Greatly appreciated the seal part #👍Well done, easy to follow, detailed video. Thank You Again‼️‼️‼️

Thanks for the great video, just saved myself $100 to take it in for service.

Spot On!. Changed my motor a couple times now. Never the seals. About a week later the she sprung a leak. This video covers it!!

Thank you so much I did mine today 40 dollar seal kit

Great video! Thanks for posting the tools and complete job from start to finish.

Just GREAT video thank you - made the repair and saved a bunch!

Thanks for posting; huge help in June, 2024!

It was very useful information. Thank you very much!

Excellent tutorial. Good idea doing it on an old unit on a table. Doing mine and new pump once all the parts arrive.

Thanks for the help!

Thank you for this vid! Worked well for me👍👍👍👍👍

Great video!! Perfect!!!

Well done video, thank you

Well done!

thank you... very clear video. Subscribed

I had to stretch out the new wet-end ribbon-shaped gasket, the new part kept popping out. It helped. It still leaked and so I'll be working on the wet end's new gasket again later this week for a client. I dislike how thin of a gasket it is.

Good job

Great video. Would a bad seal cause suction issue. I believe it ran dry for a bit. Now have suction issue.

Good video Ty

Great video, thanks for sharing. My 16 yr. old hayward super pump has a small leak that appears to be coming from underneath. Do I need to replace the whole seal? How do i know it is not just a housing seal plate gasket, or the diffuser gasket?

thanks for showing me this. no way am i doing it.

Excellent explanation! Where can I order the parts??

Hi I have a Hayward Super Pump SP240 but it doesn't look like that, there are no 1/4" nuts to remove at the end. Can I send you photos of my pump as you may know how to access the peller

My inground pool maindrain works fine. But cant get steady suction on skimmers. Hook up vaccum and loose all suction. Took valve off no obstruction. Eventually my bottom left housing 9 16th bolt area began leaking by gasket..but i couldnt vaccum before that.any suggestions??

I have a pump like that and the suction is weak and output is low flow. I've tried to take it apart but the upper right bolt seems to just spin like the nut is stripped inside of the housing. I've tried to backflow to try to clean the impeller in the water seems to flow through the impeller area back into the basket area like there's no blockage but when the pump is plugged in Hook to water lines going into the pool without a filter I can put my hand on the line my fingers in the line and it's barely sucking water and when the output of the pump is pushing water out of that line it's like it's coming off of slow flow water hose out of your house I would think it'd be throwing at least three feet from that hose but it's just drizzling out like slow flow house water hose what could it be me quit the impeller be worn out could there be a seal inside of there stopping it from having suction

Good afternoon can you please tell me when do you need to change the diffuser gasket and seal plate. Like what would the pump do when those are bad?

i watched all differant videos and none have a smooth end shaft. no where to put a hold back wrench. i have the hayward sp2600vsp and the is no way to hold back the shaft to remove the impeler, less than an 1/8 inch smooth shaft sticking out.. any ideas?

Ya definitely don’t have to pull the drain plug. The water will run out while removing the bolts. An pulling it apart. Removing the plug is just an extra step. Ad most loosen the clear lid cover

How long do these seals usually last? Im on season 5 of my new pool and is leaking already, is this normal?

*** PLEASE HELP*** I have a Hayward 1 hp pump motor that’s leaking in the same place, but It doesn’t say super pump, but the pump model number is SP2605X7. Would that motor take the same part number for the seals??? Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

Mine starts leak, should I turn it off for safety or keep using it while waiting for the parts? I just opened the pool 😔

Did mine(a few times over) and it still leaks like crazy. Normally I'm pretty good at mechanical stuff but it's driving me crazy. Arrrgh.

Just change seal and gasket with lots of silicone but pump have a leak by top right between housing and plate Gasket is perfect place and new . And bolts are tight why keep leaking like a pin hole right between plate and housing 😢😢😢

Good instructions, but hard to understand. Sounds like you're mumbling or facing away from the microphone half the time.
