{"product_id":"seal-assembly-ps1000","title":"U.S. Seal PS1000 Shaft Seal Assembly","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe U.S. Seal PS1000 is the mechanical shaft seal that keeps water in the wet end of a pool pump and out of the motor. It fits pumps from Polaris, Pentair, Hayward, Astral, Jandy and Waterway, and it replaces a long list of OEM seal numbers including AS1000, VG1000, P55 and S1000.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhen you need one\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe symptom is water leaking between the motor and the seal plate. Ignored, that water tracks down the shaft into the motor bearings and ruins the motor; a motor that has started screaming has usually already been flooded and needs replacing too. Beyond that, fit a new seal any time the pump is dismantled, since a used seal rarely goes back together dry.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTwo pieces\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne half is a ceramic seat in a rubber back that presses into the seal plate. The other is a carbon face with a spring and stainless steel cup that rides on the impeller side. The two polished faces running against each other are the seal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInstalling it\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNever touch the black carbon face. The easiest way to seat the cup half is a 1 in. coupling, which presses on the cup and lets the seal go into the housing square without contacting the face.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Us Seal","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48624927244500,"sku":"USS-60-5023","price":6.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0801\/9568\/2516\/files\/default_70d53be0-89fc-493f-ba15-101131be6d70.jpg?v=1788654737","url":"https:\/\/www.activepoolsupply.com\/products\/seal-assembly-ps1000","provider":"Active Pool Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
