I'm new - Pump Seal Lube?

[Gullion1r]

I just replaced my Hayward SuperPump motor with an AO. It now leaks!

I ordered a new set of seals & need to know if there is any type lube avalible at the autoparts store to put on the new seals when I install them??


Thanks

No! Using lube on a pump seal will ruin it. You can use silicone lube -- if needed -- on the ceramic insert gasket (NOT on the ceramic!) if you're having a hard time inserting it.
