Hey Team,
Today me and the Legend are working on a lazy river motivator. These pumps "motivate" the pool to run like a river.... These motors and pump combo are called River Flows and are sold and commissioned by www.current-sy.... Not being paid by them, just wanted people to know what we use. We are removing an old shaft and replacing with a refurbished propeller shaft. Then, we take it to our shop and rehab the old one.
Not sure why my hand video is really shaky, ill work on that. Something with the settings on my cell are not correct.

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.
@thepoolguy
@thepoolguy 3 года назад
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.
@bobscott9253
@bobscott9253 3 года назад
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.👏🏼

@philipboy88 3 года назад
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.

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.

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.
@Semparo
@Semparo 3 года назад
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.

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.

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.
