New pool owner here. See attached image for pool pump motor model number and specs. This motor is leaking water, and I am trying to repair it. Only problem is that this pool pump motor is so old that I cannot find the specs of the shaft seal anywhere. I found some repair kit online but it doesn’t say if it fits this pump motor. Can someone help me find out what repair kit will work for this pool motor? I am also planning on replacing the pool pump motor and can use some suggestion on which models will be good to replace this one.
I can admit that it can be a little confusing choosing the correct seals for your pump. From our experience, the biggest confusion stems from the information pool owners actually need to get the correct parts. To order the correct seal for your pump, ideally, you need the make and model of your pool pump. This information is typically located on the pump housing, opposite of the motor. This information has its own separate label.
Unfortunately, the motor information cannot determine which seals you need. Like the shaft seal, the motor is simply a single component of your pump. It makes sense, though, to think the motor information is helpful considering half of the pump seal goes on the motor shaft. However, in this situation, it isn’t.
Whenever you need to replace your pump seals, make sure you have the make and model number of the pump handy. If you cannot read or locate the original pump label with the model information on it, locate a part number off of the pump. Typically, you can find part numbers on the pump’s housing, strainer lid, strainer basket, impeller, and diffuser.
If for whatever reason you are running into issues locating a model or part number, give us a call or post some pictures of your pool pump here. We’d be more than happy to help you cross-reference any parts and locate the correct seals for your pump.
I found something new on the pool pump. On the strainer cap (the steel round metal clip that seals the plastic lid) there is a number " MVM60172-754SS ". On the motor connection shell there is a sticker says " Model:15. SERIAL NO. M75 "
Please see attached pictures
Hmmmm. I can’t find anything with that part number. Can you attach some images of the whole pump (including the strainer)?
