It comes as a matched set, the spring loaded rotating half and its seat.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat the seal does\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe shaft seal is what keeps pool water inside the wet end where the motor shaft passes through. It is a wear item by design, running against a mating face every hour the pump turns. Running the pump dry, even briefly, is what usually kills one, because the faces rely on water for lubrication and cooling.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy the leak matters\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen the seal goes, water runs down the back of the housing and onto the motor end bell. Left alone, that water finds the front bearing and the winding, and a cheap seal job turns into a motor replacement. A steady drip from between the motor and the wet end is a job worth doing that week.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFitting it\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eReplace both halves together. Keep the ceramic seat and the carbon face clean and dry when you press them in, and check the shaft and impeller hub for scoring while the pump is apart.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Waterway","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48633767788756,"sku":"WWP-101-1385","price":27.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0801\/9568\/2516\/files\/default_6fac900b-703c-481e-9012-2ef78bacf1f9.jpg?v=1788814950","url":"https:\/\/www.activepoolsupply.com\/products\/pump-seal-kit","provider":"Active Pool Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
