Pump Ringing

[waste]

Are you sure that you didn't install the shaft seal assembly backwards? (i.e. rubber to impeller or not 'lip to ceramic)

The only time I've seen one go so quickly is when the pool owner installed his new one backwards

I installed it with the two ceramic pieces touching each other. based it roughly on this video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WT6FaK3MX4o

However, since you mention it.. I see in the comments a few people mention he installed the seal backwards. They're only 10 bucks for the seal locally, but I'm on seal#2 already (touched the ceramic surface on accident with the first )

I got some local pool guy coming out tomorrow at 9am. He's only charging 40 bucks for the trip, and if he can get it fixed up for that I guess I'll be happy. Other than maybe having screwed the seal up again, I can't imagine that i damaged any other parts.

Update: You were right on, waste. Ceramic seal installed improperly. It's been corrected and all is well!


I can't believe how quiet the new pump is, I should have replaced the old one sooner.

yeah, he's pretty good about that!

Glad you got it working.
