Installation & Compatibility Notes
Before installing the seal, shut off power to the pump/motor, drain the pump housing, and remove the old seal. Clean the shaft and seal plate surfaces free of debris and corrosion. Install the PS-1000 assembly ensuring correct orientation of the stationary ring and rotating element. Reassemble the seal plate, reinstall the motor/pump and prime the system. After startup, confirm there is no water leakage along the shaft and that the pump operates quietly.
Maintenance Tips
- Check for leaks or water seeping into the motor during routine maintenance; early detection prevents motor damage.
- If the pump has been removed or the wet end disassembled, always replace the shaft seal rather than re-using the old one.
- Ensure the shaft is not bent or worn, and that the seal plate faces are flush and clean to maximize seal life.
