Dean, Yes not every pump model has the same shaft seal. We would need to know the specific model of the pump to find the correct shaft seal for your pump.

You will need to identify the pump you own to determine the correct shaft/pump seal part you would need to replace bad seal. The pump information would be located on the front half of the pump the motor is attached to.

Hi there,
I have a Hayward Pump, however its missing the pump label, stating the Hayward model. Looking at pictures online, Ive identified it as a Hayward Max-Flo Pump, self priming pump. The pump motor does have a label that reads HAYWARD MAX-FLO PUMP. In the past I ordered a strainer basket model #2800. The pump leaks underneath it, where the the motor meets pump. Id like to order a complete seal kit, including shaft seal, to correct this. Can you provide assistance ? Thanx. Frank

Hi, Frank. The Hayward MaxFlo Tune Up Kit - GOKIT1 is the kit that you will need for the Hayward MaxFlo pump that includes all the gaskets and pump shaft seal.

You can put a very small amount of silicone lube on the rubber parts but none on the white ceramic part, just the rubber parts.

I have Max-Flo pump SP1615z-1 MXBK 7-186856-01 what is correct seals #. Thank you

If you have the Hayward Max-Flo pump you can use the GOKIT1 OR GOKIT1SALT for pools using salt systems. The part number SP1615z-1 MXBK is a motor part number. There are other Max Flo models that you may review here for verification.

Hi, Chris. Sounds like you'll need to replace the Pump Seal - SPX1600Z2.

water leaking from bottom of pump also loss in suction, psi is down about 5psi. suction is weak during vacuum. my question, would you start by replacing the shaft seal first?

Hello, I would recommend inspecting the lid gasket first. If the pump is leaking, it can be the shaft seal or the housing gasket.

I have a Hayward super pump II that is leaking water significantly from under the motor and understand that I need to replace both shaft seals and potentially the o-ring on the diffuser. Is there anything else I would need to order?
Reply
I would recommend just replacing all of those seals and gaskets. Now if you have the Hayward Super Pump then the seal kit is called the GOKIT3 and if you have the Super 2 then that would be the GOKIT2. If you have a saltwater pool just add the salt to the end of the word GOKIT

Hi, Frank. You will need to provide us with the housing model number or name in order for us to identify your pump and locate those seals. We're unable to use the motor model.

Hi, Can a bad pump shaft seal cause the pump to shut off? I have a dual speed pump, and it started leaking slightly underneath, however the pump only shuts off on high speed, works fine on low speed. Wondering if there is any chance the shaft seal could be the reason
Reply
Hi, Shane. A bad shaft seal will not cause the pump to shut off, it will cause the pump to leak.

I was gone for a week and when I came home leaves had badly clogged my strainer, allowing the pump to cavitate. The pump is now quite loud. Is this probably due to the shaft seals being damaged by boiling water?
Reply
Hi Dave, we are sorry to hear about that. Yes, the shaft seal depends upon water flowing to cool it, so the noise may be caused by the shaft seal being damaged - the backing plate might be damaged as well. Let us know what model pump you have and we will help you get it back up and running.
