It is the genuine Pentair part, and Pentair notes it may fit other pump models as well.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat the shaft seal does\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe seal rides on the motor shaft behind the impeller and keeps pool water on the wet end where it belongs. When it wears, water tracks along the shaft and drips out between the pump housing and the motor. Left alone, that water finds the motor bearings and turns a small part into a large one.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFitting it\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe seal sits behind the impeller, so the wet end has to be opened and the impeller removed. Since the pump is already apart, most people replace the housing and lid o-rings at the same time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMake it last\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eShaft seals do not survive dry running. If the pump has been losing prime or pulling air on the suction side, sort that out before fitting the new seal.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pentair","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48626981798100,"sku":"PUR-101-1734","price":36.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0801\/9568\/2516\/files\/default_c83352f8-904c-4f00-b179-be1ccaced220.png?v=1788718727","url":"https:\/\/www.activepoolsupply.com\/products\/seal-kit-wfe-intelliflo","provider":"Active Pool Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
