Why should I purchase the heavy duty seal?
Reply
The heavy duty shaft seal features carbon graphite, stainless steel, and Viton rubber. The properties of this seal contribute to the resistance of chemical corrosion. This is the best choice for salt chlorine generators or ozonators.

Our pump had gone bad after only 2 years. We had replaced the old motor when we moved in and then converted to salt. We had failed to install a seal when we replaced the pump and after a couple seasons of salt water leaking into the pump it had fully corroded and locked up. We started with turning off the break and then disconnecting the power at the back of the pump. The rear cap needed to come off first of course. We then removed the four bolts but two where stuck because of age and corrosion so we used a cut off wheel at the pump side (since we where replacing it anyway) to cut off the old bolts. We then cleaned up the pump housing and began to prep the new pump. We replaced the pump, bearing and seal and used U.S. Seal LUBE 4OZ Bottle LUBE-4OZ to prepare the new pump shaft. We upgraded to the Pump Shaft Seal Assembly, Extra Heavy Duty for Saltwater Pools - PS-3866
bearing and spring for good measure, that turned out to be great choice and everything is super smooth now. We installed the new pump with a new housing gasket and new bolts and everything worked great.
