Two lapped faces, one turning with the shaft and one fixed in the seal plate, are held together so water cannot follow the shaft out of the volute. It is a wear part by design, and it is the single most common leak on any pool pump.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOld style versus new\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSta-Rite changed this seal in 1998. Confirm the age of your pump, or compare the old seal, before you order. Fit the seal as a complete set, both faces together, and take the chance to inspect the seal plate and shaft while the pump is apart.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sta-Rite","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48628739309780,"sku":"STA-601-5141","price":26.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0801\/9568\/2516\/files\/default_bf14f64e-4c97-4309-982b-ef84cca11d55.jpg?v=1788749468","url":"https:\/\/www.activepoolsupply.com\/products\/shaft-seal-old-style","provider":"Active Pool Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
