Hayward SPX1600TRA Seal Assembly Replacement Kit for Hayward Superpump and MaxFlo Pump

The seller is sending me another kit to replace the faulty shaft seal included with the first kit. They stood behind their product, good seller, good service. Thank you!My first shaft seal failed years after the pump was installed, it was an easy fix to purchase a new seal from the local store and also a spare to keep on hand. In addition to the seal, the impeller also broke, the plastic threaded portion failed due to age. Luckily I had a spare for that also. A few weeks ago my pump began leaking again so I disassembled the unit and examined the parts. The shaft seal looked fine but the all of the gaskets were 24 years old so I thought I may as well order a kit. With everything cleaned, I reassembled but the leak remained. At that point I ordered this kit figuring I would do the entire job and save my spare shaft seal for the next time I needed one.The kit arrived quickly and appeared to be all the correct parts. In addition to the kit, I also ordered the replacement impeller for my 1.5 HP Superpump (they now have a bronze threaded portion), thinking the current edition had the plastic threads which might fail and take out my new shaft seal. Every surface was cleaned and the rubber components lightly lubricated for insertion. Once done, I reactivated the filtering system, no leaks, no unusual noises, just a quiet pump operating as it should.All was good for a few days, however, the leak began again shortly thereafter. Thinking the housing gasket might be twisted or some other minor issue, I disassembled, inspected, and reassembled without finding a problem. No apparent crack in the housing, no twisted gaskets, no nothing.At this point I am at a standstill. My suspicion is that the shaft seal has a defect which I cannot detect. As soon as I have a chance I will be installing my new, spare shaft seal. If the leak remains and is not the fault of this kit, I absolutely will update my review. If the seller offers to replace what might be a defective part, I will update with that also. STAY TUNED!UPDATE July 13, 2017: Last Monday I replaced the new shaft seal which came in this kit with the one I had stashed away as an emergency spare. That particular seal had come directly from the Leslie's Pool store thirty miles from my home (a number of years ago). So far, no leaks have appeared. Seems the seal I purchased here is defective, so now I shall contact the seller to see what, if anything, they will do.

Good product- not sure what the large rectangular gasket was for

This kit is exactly what's called for when my pool pump starts leaking around the seal. The first time it happened a few years after our pool was first installed almost 21 years ago, I didn't know any better and actually replaced the entire pump and motor assembly! Never again, as I now simply use this kit when I notice that the area under the pump is always wet, or on the rare occasion when I needed to replace the motor. Besides basic hand tools, a few paper towels, access to a good instructional video, good weather and a few hours, all that's needed is a tube of Aladdin Magic Lube to coat the two rubber seals during reassembly.

Pool supplies

I replaced my seals when I rebuilt the pump and replaced my motor. You have no idea how much water actually wears out the pump plastic. I replaced seal into my old pump and they leaked trashing a pump. After buying the pump rebuild kit I bought these new seals. WOW everything fit better and no leaks

excellent and cost effective fix for the old seals arrived quickly. I would/will purchase again when the need exists.

All the parts fit nicely and appear to be the exact replacement for my Hayward Superpump.I watched several online instructions for the repair and it was easy to do if you have basic skills and tools. I would order again.

I had to buy them after the fact because my motor and pump were leaking. I used these to stop the leaks.

Worked great

Hayward OEM parts. Everything fit properly. Saved a lot of money replacing all 4 seals on my Hayward Super pump and motor myself. Some good You Tube videos with step by step instructions.Pump model: SP 2607X10A, motor: SP-1607-Z1-M

Worked like a charm, fit like they were supposed to!
