Thanks a lot for this video ! easier than I thought.
My pool equipment supplier wanted me to throw away the whole thing, incl motor, and buy a new one of course ... crazy society.

[@olitheblue]

Hey, does it matter if you put the seal in the opposite way? Recently watch a vid on the model I have and the ceramic part went on the motor side.

[@johangerber2942]

Thanks, the video helped a lot, I would have broken the impeller if it was not for the video lol

[@mcdougal0]

i would use a silicone lubricant on the 2nd seal being careful not to get on the ceramic this seems to extend the life of the seal in my experiences at least.

[@camcast9103]

Not the way to change a pump seal|! Although this pump differs from the norm in having the mechanical spring section in the backing place instead of the impellor, you have to press the seal into the backing plate and the mating ring into the impellor. Just relying on the spring tension of the mechanical seal to press it in is very hit and miss and can cause damage and leakage.

[@WatercoEurope]

Just a point to note on this, this is not how we would recommend changing a mechanical seal on a Waterco pump. Our advice would be to consult a professional trained in replacing mechanical seals.

[@lozarok]

Good vid - Cheers

[@markscholes7525]

You might want to use some seal lube/sealant as well. Without it the shaft seal will not work properly.
