    My pump was apart for a week or 2 then I ordered the correct parts. Took 3 weeks after that to get a new ceramic shaft seal, spring etc... . Thanks for showing how it all goes together. By the time the parts got here, I forgot.

    Do a no load run on the motor. If it isn’t butter smooth and quiet then you need to be figuring out which bearing is bad. If it is smooth and quiet then put the pump back together. But if the motor has a bad bearing it will ruin the seal fairly quickly.

    Hey Chris! Like usual your videos are awesomely terrific! Can you pretty please do a video on how a Venturi (or jet valve located inside the well) of a two pipe well system works? This system uses a jet pump. Inquiring minds want to know. :)

    I would be looking at the bearings in the motor. If you have a failing bearing in the motor it will cause the seal to fail.

    I have a Gould JRS7 and it has a flat head screw instead of a bolt where the propeller is… I am having the hardest time trying to get it off. It’s ridiculous. Any tips for that particular style?

    That nut on the impeller is always striped out a spanner wrench works the best just hope the shaft is okay if it's bad it will still leak. the white ceramic It best to silicone the rubber in cheap insurance. lube the seal with soap most likely it for drinking water. when pushed on make sure the seal dose not roll or it will also leak of course keep clean the most common reason it brake like that is from air hammering from a air pocket the impeller being unbalanced/bent wouldn't brake the seal it would have to be bent really bad and if that was the case it would most likely lock the pump end up right away first. Ps. I've been building pumps and booster for way to long it seems like now 17years so I think I done quit a bit of them. for 8 year at least 99 percent of the boosters that have come to our shop have been done by me the only time I have a problem is when the seal is cheap or low quality. I would always pick the highest quality seal if you don't want any leaks. My opinion👍👌✌️💯🥂💦🌊⛲

    Changing a seal but not bearings is like wiping before you poop. The seal doesn’t hold the shaft straight. Time will not tell. You me issue is already clear and should be fixed.

    Hey brother, just curious why you didn't show how you removed the front housing from the seal housing...if yours just simply pulled apart, that's awesome. I've never seen the cast iron housing separate easily from the stainless steel housing without using a homemade bearing puller tool. The water is pretty hard and/or corrosive in the high desert where i live and was just curious if you used any technique to separate the housing or not. Thanks, Justin Henry

    We had taken it off once before this, and it took us nearly 2 hours. We ended up wrapping chains around it, hoisting it up, and used a forklift to pull down on the chains. It was tough.

    The flows and pressure capabilities depend on the pump model and HP. Here is a link to the brochure for the Gould's pump MCC series in the video: documentlibrary.xylemappliedwater.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/22/files/2012/07/BMCC-R5.pdf

    That why you use that seal because of hot water and those are perty expensive seals to just put it in because you fill like it. They are a lot better seal though
