Product details

The Pentair 354634 is the diffuser bracket O-ring for the Dynamo aboveground swimming pool pump. It is also carried under the reference O-453, and it is listed at 3/16 in.

What it seals

The diffuser sits over the impeller and directs water into the volute. The O-ring around its bracket keeps that path sealed. When the O-ring hardens, flattens or cracks, water short circuits inside the pump and air finds its way in with it.

The symptoms

A Dynamo that primes slowly, loses prime after it shuts off, or runs with air riding in the strainer pot is often pointing at a seal this small. It is worth checking before you go looking for a cracked housing or a suction line leak.

While you are in there

Do not reuse an old O-ring once the pump is open. The mechanical seal assembly and the strainer pot lid O-ring are the parts most often changed in the same service, and all three are inexpensive next to a second teardown.

Questions and answers

What people ask about this product, answered by our pool techs.

Which O-ring is this on the Dynamo?
The diffuser bracket O-ring, listed at 3/16 in. The strainer pot lid O-ring on the same pump is a different, larger part.
Why is it listed under two numbers?
Pentair carries it as 354634 and it is also referenced as O-453. Both refer to the same O-ring.
Can a bad diffuser O-ring stop the pump priming?
Yes. If the diffuser does not seal, the pump draws air internally and either primes slowly or will not hold prime at all.
Should I replace anything else with it?
The mechanical seal assembly and the strainer pot lid O-ring are the usual companions, since the pump is already apart.
