If you are repairing your pool pump or pool pump motor consider purchasing a GO-KIT. Each GO-KIT contains the replacement seals and gaskets you will need to repair your pump. A typical GO-KIT like the one pictured here for a Hayward pump, contains the motor shaft seal (2 parts), the pump housing gasket, the pump lid o-ring, and the diffuser gasket. We have written How-To Guides that describe in detail where each of these parts are installed and how to install them. This guide points to each of the applicable installation guides. Note: These GO-KIT are generally unique to the make and model of the pump. Order the GO-KIT specified for your pump's make and model. Click here to view GOKITS.
