Hayward Super Pump problem

[waste]

Sorry you're having this problem - I know how frustrating it is to do everything right and still end up with a drip or leak!

Any chance that the mounting or sealing plate is cracked? (sorry, that's the last thing I can think of)

Please keep us informed as to your progress with this (we really do care about you and your pool )

[edit] did you put the rubber side of the 1600- Z -1 into the sealing plate? ( I have had a couple pool owners install the ceramic side towards the motor, and it leaked within 1 day - I mean NO offense with this question, but I've seen it happen) [/edit]
