Product details

The Sta-Rite U9-199 is the diffuser o-ring for the PLBC booster pump, model PLBC-178L. It is the genuine Sta-Rite replacement for that position.

What it seals

A booster pump exists to give a pressure side cleaner more head than the filter pump can supply. The impeller does that work, and the diffuser directs the flow it produces. The o-ring between the diffuser and the housing is what stops pressurized water from circling back inside the pump. When it hardens or takes a set, the pump still runs and still sounds normal, but the cleaner gets less pressure than it should and starts to crawl.

Fitting

The diffuser is exposed as soon as the pump is opened, so this o-ring is worth changing during any PLBC service, particularly a shaft seal replacement. Seat it clean and dry into its groove and check the diffuser for cracks before you put the pump back together.

Questions and answers

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

Which pump does this fit?
The Sta-Rite PLBC booster pump, model PLBC-178L.
What does the diffuser o-ring do?
It seals the diffuser against the housing. Without that seal, water the impeller has already pressurized leaks back inside the pump instead of being pushed out to the cleaner line.
Is this a genuine Sta-Rite part?
Yes. It is the Sta-Rite replacement, part number U9-199.
Should I replace anything else at the same time?
The shaft seal is the usual companion job, since both are reached with the same teardown. Inspect the diffuser itself for cracks while the pump is open.
