Product details
The Sta-Rite C104-79P is the pump base with motor pad for 3 HP models. It is the genuine Sta-Rite part and appears in the Max-E-Pro Series, Max-E-Glas II and Dura-Glas II parts breakdowns.
Check the horsepower first
This base is listed for 3 HP only. Bases are horsepower specific because the motor they carry changes in size and mounting, so read the horsepower off the motor label rather than going by the pump family name.
What the base does
The base carries the motor and holds it square to the wet end. When it corrodes through or cracks, the motor settles slightly out of line and the shaft no longer runs true. That misalignment quietly chews through shaft seals and can put the impeller out of position, so a failing base is worth replacing rather than shimming.
