The shaft seal closes that gap with two lapped faces, one riding on the shaft and one fixed in the housing, pressed together by a spring. It is the hardest working seal in the pump and the one that eventually wears.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReading the leak\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWater running out from between the wet end and the motor is a shaft seal. Water weeping from the seam where the two housing halves bolt together is the housing gasket. Getting that right before you order saves a second teardown, and left alone a failed shaft seal will put water into the motor bearings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFitting\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eReplace both halves of the seal as the assembly supplies them. A new rotating face run against an old seat will not last. While the pump is open, check the impeller and the housing o-ring, since the labor to reach them is already done.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hayward","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48626864259284,"sku":"HAY-101-8011","price":50.37,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0801\/9568\/2516\/files\/default_0a2d837e-d04c-47ee-8290-7f7581647bcc.png?v=1788716013","url":"https:\/\/www.activepoolsupply.com\/products\/shaft-seal-assembly-1","provider":"Active Pool Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
