Catching this leak early In this vlog, I point out the origin and location of the most common place a pool pump has a water leak and how to fix it properly.
There is a split plastic ring in the middle that allows the two o-rings to rotate independently of one another when the shaft turns. Over time those o-rings eventually wear out and you’ll get a leak. Those o-rings were over 6 years old so that’s a pretty good service life given how often (daily) those valves are actuated. The fix is cheap.If your swimming pool stops leaking after dropping below the water return, look for leaks near it. If you have a vinyl liner swimming pool and water is leaking from the return, look for rips, holes or tears, and repair them using a patch kit. Use food-colored water in a syringe and inject it near suspected pool leaks to determine their location.
