Heat, chlorine and age take the flexibility out of it, and once it is hard and flat it no longer fills its groove. The result is a slow drip from the seam that is easy to blame on the shaft seal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMolded form\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a molded gasket, so it holds its shape and seats into the groove rather than needing to be stretched into line. That makes reassembly quicker and less prone to pinching.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBest time to change it\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAny time the pump comes apart. If you are already in there for a shaft seal or an impeller, replacing this gasket costs very little and removes the most likely reason you would have to open the pump again.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pentair","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48627218907348,"sku":"PUR-101-1494","price":6.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0801\/9568\/2516\/files\/default_8afe2f59-99fa-483c-9cd6-c4cddda7b144.png?v=1788720158","url":"https:\/\/www.activepoolsupply.com\/products\/molded-seal-plate-gasket","provider":"Active Pool Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
