Mechanical Seals & Leak Repair
Stop water loss and save your motor from internal rust.
The Most Critical Seal in Your Pool
A pool pump is half plumbing and half electricity. The only thing keeping the high-pressure water in the "wet end" from flooding the electric motor in the "dry end" is a small, two-piece ceramic and graphite component called the mechanical shaft seal. When it fails, water drips directly under the middle of the pump.
Why Seals Fail
Mechanical seals degrade over time, but they can fail prematurely due to running the pump dry (heat warps the ceramic), extreme water chemistry imbalances, or debris bypassing the pump basket.
Preventing Motor Death
A $40 seal replacement can save a $500 motor. If you see a puddle under your pump, we need to tear it down, clean the shaft, and press in a new seal before the front bearing rusts out.
Lid O-Rings & Plumbing Leaks
Not all leaks are from the bottom. If water is spraying from the top or front of the pump, we replace flattened lid O-rings, cracked diffuser gaskets, or re-thread the high-temperature PVC intake/discharge fittings.
