Hi Gary, The Hayward Shaft Seal OEM (SP1500KA) would be the correct seal.

Have a Hayward power-flo matrix pump SP1510-z-1-xesc. When I started the pump up it is making a high pitched noise. The motor doesn't seem to be overly hot to the touch. Could the problem be in the pump seal or the bearings? Pump is working fine but have that constant hum. Appreciate any advice. Thanks

Hi, Keith. The problem is the bearings inside the motor, they are going bad. Replacing the pump seal will not stop the noise.

my pool pump part# 1514z2s4ec dual speed power saver power flo matrix part#193347 1.5 hp rpm 3450 / 1725 serial # 039103m my pump is leaking water out the back bottom by the on / off switch what can I do to fix this
Reply
Eric, If the pump is leaking by the on/off switch, it is likely that the shaft seal and water slinger have failed. You can replace both seals but water has gotten inside of the motor and the motor will have to be rebuilt or replaced.

Hi, Erik. You can review our How To Change The Shaft Seal On A Hayward Matrix Pump guide to find out how to remove the impeller to install the shaft seal.

I bought this kit for my Power Flo Matrix pump. I don't see where the small o-ring or the cup looking part belong. Are these for another pump? The guide does not show these being installed either.
Reply
Hi, Nick. The cup is a spacer for the pump shaft seal. The cup is not used with the Matrix pump.

Trying to replace the impeller on my Power Flo Matrix pump. The number on the broken part is SP1500L. The part of the impeller that screws onto the shaft is plastic nipple with a spring on it. The nipple broke off. The part I ordered is SP1500L but has a brass nipple with no spring. What to do?

I have a Hayward SP1580 Power Flo LX pump. When I replaced the ceramic half of the seal, it doesn't bottom out on the flat ledge in rear of the housing. Lacks approx. 1/8". I covered it with a paper towel and tried tapping lightly on it to seat it fully. It did not move. Is it meant to seal on the side of the housing utilizing the elastomer surface, and not on the bottom flange of the recess in the housing?
Reply
No the seal should bottom out flat. You might need to check for burs in the recess or dirt.

Hello, my pump is leaking slowly (4 drop for minute). So I think it's the seal.
This part (#3) could work for my model pump?
Model: HAYWARD Power Flo LX SP1580Z2 (D).
1.5hp.
