SOURCE: leaking hot tub motor
hi! there,
well occassionaly leak on pumps this is due to the mechanical shaft seal has been worn out.If you can do fix your self
try to prepare tools to be used mostly set of socket wrench,set of open and closed wrench,pipe wrench one pair,screw driver flat and cross,switch off circuit breaker of pump motor,disconnect elctrical wiring of pump motor,disconnect pump pipe fitting usually on union service fiiting, if pump is free from fitting loosen bolt on pump motor base,pull out pump motor place on a particular working table,have a prepare box to place all bolt to be disconnected on pumps,we have to pull out motor from pumps housing assembly
have you seen hydro pump,the motor assembly was couple to pums assembly.thereare 4 long bolts connected holding motor to pump assembly at the back of motor loosen this to disengage
motor and pump assembly,try to put mark on motor back cover
for reference in putting back.if motor is disengage on pump assembly, of course the rotor of motor still connected on pump assembly.
the shaft seal is connected to the rotor shaft inside pumps assembly,there are 4 bolts holding pump casing front cover loosening this will appear the centrifugal blade connected to rotor shafting holiding by a big nut at tip of rotor shaft.loosen this by socket wrench try to find the size,then pull centrifugal blade with
the shaft seal,buy this one with same specification exact value of shaft seal,if there is mistake buying seal either leak again or to tight.shaft
so this type is just sample to have idea,afterr you purchased put it back and reassemble the pump motor.thi is easy one, have a nice day don't forget to rate me. thank's
