It is listed for the Aqua-Flo XP2, XP2e, XP3, Circ-Master HP, CP, CMXP and XP spa pumps.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat the seal does\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe shaft seal runs where the motor shaft passes into the wet end. It is two lapped faces held together under spring pressure, one turning with the shaft and one fixed in the housing, and it is the only thing keeping pool water out of the motor.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy it is never reused\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThose two faces wear in against each other in service. Once they have been pulled apart the mating pattern is broken and they will not seal properly again, even if they look perfect. That is why a new seal goes in every time the impeller comes off, whether the old one was leaking or not.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat a leak costs\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWater from a failing seal tracks along the shaft and into the motor bearings. The first sign is a stain or a damp spot under the pump, then bearing noise, then a motor. Fitting a seal at the drip stage is the whole point of stocking one.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gecko Alliance","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48634623787220,"sku":"AQF-92500170","price":27.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0801\/9568\/2516\/files\/default_881295a9-5043-4efb-8587-abcdeb0eea7c.png?v=1788835518","url":"https:\/\/www.activepoolsupply.com\/products\/aqua-flo-replacement-seal","provider":"Active Pool Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
