It is the genuine Pentair part.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCheck the build date first\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis sealplate is listed for SuperFlo VST pumps manufactured after 6\/17\/19. Pentair changed the wet end parts at that point, so the date on the pump matters more than the model name. Confirm it before ordering.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat the sealplate does\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is the wall between the water and the motor. The motor bolts to it, the volute seals against it, and it holds the stationary half of the shaft seal square to the shaft. Everything about whether the pump stays dry depends on that plate being flat and its seal bore undamaged.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhen to replace it\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCracks, warping and a chewed seal bore are the reasons it comes out. If a pump has been through a new shaft seal and still weeps at the motor, the sealplate is usually where the problem actually is. Order the shaft seal at the same time, since it should not be reused once removed.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pentair","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48634001948884,"sku":"PAC-101-0031","price":90.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0801\/9568\/2516\/files\/default_c336fdcc-10fe-40e3-8092-01fa8a089bb3.jpg?v=1788823608","url":"https:\/\/www.activepoolsupply.com\/products\/superflo-vst-sealplate","provider":"Active Pool Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
