    Post I'm new - Pump Seal Lube?

    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
    Rob

    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.
