Pool Pump Shaft Seals and Go-Kits
When replacing your pump motor it is recommended to ALWAYS replace the shaft seal. The pool pump shaft seal is the seal that prevents water from leaking into the motor and damaging it. Many people think that the shaft seal goes with the motor, but actually the shaft seal fits between the pump diffuser and the motor shaft so the pump manufacturer/model and/or pump shaft seal part number is actually what is needed to determine the proper shaft seal for your pool pump.
We also offer GO-KITS which contain all the gaskets/o-rings/seals for a particular pump model. These kits include a shaft seal in addition to all the other seals for your pump.
Below we have provided simple steps for you to follow in order to determine the shaft seal needed for your pump. If at any time you need assistance please feel free to contact us via e-mail at
