Installation Instructions

Troubleshooting
-
Leak between motor and pump housing: Ensure the seal plate is seated correctly and bolts are tightened evenly.
-
Reduced flow or suction problems: A worn or incorrect mechanical seal may cause performance loss; replacing with this kit often restores original function.
-
Pump overheating or making noise: Check that the new seal is installed correctly and there is no misalignment of components.
Maintenance Tip
Whenever the pump wet-end is opened for service, consider replacing the seal plate and mechanical seal to maintain reliability. Using the SPX1600SKIT1 kit when the original seal begins to leak or show age correctly restores form and function and prolongs life of your Super Pump system.
