Thanks for watching Donnie, haven't heard from you in awhile 👍

Yeah that's what I did. Aslong as it's the same unit. Thanks for watching David & Subscribe to the channel 👍

I didn't know it was missing until I tore it apart & I didn't want the pool closed until the part arrived so I put it back together & ordered the screw & once it arrived I installed it. Great question though. Thanks for watching & subscribe to the channel Tony 👍

Wow! Definitely best to replace all the seals & shaft seal if you have it apart. 👍

Nice!! The price difference from the century motor & the OEM motor was a $35 difference, so I just went with the OEM motor, and it was going to take an extra 2-3 days shipping from California. So it was worth it to go back with the original motor and have it 2-3 days sooner for the extra $35 out of my swimming pool Maintenance budget. Thanks for watching Sean 🤜🤛👍👍

@@ApartmentMaintenance i think i got mine for like $70 cheaper, but hey, you got it back up and running and thats all that matters!

Yeah that's what I used. It's been 2 years & no issues with my pump leaking. Thanks for watching TheHcharpe1231 & subscribe to the channel 👍

It's a pool lube not adhesive. Adding the pool lube to any rubber seals or o-rings is the best thing to do to add life to each one. Thanks for watching Frank & Subscribe to the channel 👍

The metal cup of the seal is tapped into place, no sealant necessary, it's a pressure fit. The us seal instructions have warnings against using any silicone based products near the rubber on their seals. You could use some synthetic lube around the metal cup portion to make the pressing go smoothly.

For a pool company to come out and repair the motor on-site I would of spent a couple hundred dollars, roughly $350-$450. That would be just the seal kit & labor as I would of ordered the motor myself, which the motor I believe was $535 if I can remember correctly. That was August of 2019 I did that job, & posted the video around the start of pool season this year. The seal kit is $40-$45 alone, which they would of marked up the price on that, then add labor, which they would of quoted it 2 hours, basically to make it worth their trip, maybe 3 hours who knows ? Took me a half hour to do it, but I've also done them before, and I was filming which takes longer, cuz sometimes I may have to record something twice if I got interrupted or whatever. Definitely try it on your own if you feel comfortable & have the tools to do the job. Thanks for watching Hous3mode & Subscribe to the channel 👍

@@ApartmentMaintenance $350-450 is insane, I charge $185 for Whisperflo complete rebuilds like you did in the video.

@@TheRuxinator That's a great price you have there. But $350-$450 is the going rate in South Carolina. Thanks for watching Ruxinator 👍

@@ApartmentMaintenance Sounds like I should move to South Carolina! Haha. Great video, nice work on the rebuild.

I just did another one last week that was leaking bad. Give me about 20 minutes or so & I will send you the link to the correct gasket kit for that pump & motor. Thanks for watching Raul & Subscribe to the channel 👍

Here's the link to the kit Raul www.amazon.com/Pump-Repair-Pentair-WhisperFlo-IntelliFlo/dp/B001F5S1YQ/ref=mp_s_a_1_4?crid=2LM7MT2A03EJW&keywords=whisperflo+gokit-32&qid=1666730501&qu=eyJxc2MiOiIyLjQ0IiwicXNhIjoiMC4wMCIsInFzcCI6IjAuMDAifQ%3D%3D&sprefix=whisper+flo+gokit-32%2Caps%2C177&sr=8-4

Make sure you have the correct repair kit. If the kit is correct, I would say it sounds like the seals or shaft seal isn't seated properly. I would take it back apart & double check everything & reinstall if it is the correct kit. Thanks for watching 9-5 👍

Most likely area for mistakes is the main fitted gasket, the odd shaped one that fits in the channel. You really need to take some time to make sure it is perfectly in the groove and flat. Also need silicone lube in the groove before sticking the gasket in, plus silicone lube on it before mounting back to the pump body

That is correct! Thanks for watching John & Subscribe to the channel 👍

That is not a volute it’s called a diffuser the volute is the wet end of the pump

Thanks for watching Tommy Hernandez 👌

This guy doesn’t even know the proper part names calling the diffuser the impeller I wouldn’t want this guy near my equipment he doesn’t know what he’s doing imagine what he calls filter parts or know anything about hydraulics

Thanks for watching Bradley & Subscribe to the channel 👍

That's because you don't use any sealer in this project. Other videos that suggest that are incorrect.

@@dthorne4602 Pentair specifically calls for the silicone in their instructions.
