2001 sundance altamar pump leak


Recommended Posts

So as i was looking for leaks i notice my single speed pump  wet end had some water stain on the housing where the front and back halves of the wet end join  feeling around when the pump is running it has a very small leak no leak when pump off  seeing as I will be draining my tub for water change in a few weeks is  I figured I would order a new o ring and replace it  what's the chances this fixes the leak ? or do I need a new wet end  pump has never frozen   sounds fine runs fine

tub was due for a water change  hit it with ahhsome   not much goo  which is good  drained it then pulled leaking pump/wetend

 

I opened wet end the o ring was very hard compared to the new one o ring  changed shaft seal reasmbled with new o rings on the unions filled and ran no leaks so far!!!  I'm going to run it for a few hours as it needs to heat up  this way I can watch for any leaks

 

old o ring was hard but not damaged sealing surfaces on both halves of wet end were clean with no damage screws were as tight as they would go  so i guess after 20 years the rubber finally shrank/dried   didnt owe me anything!
