The pump must be isolated and drained, and the wet end unbolted from the volute.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ps4u-faq\"\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do I know which pump part I need?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePool pump families share housings but differ internally by horsepower and revision. Use the part number from the exploded parts diagram for your exact pump model rather than picking by appearance - impellers in particular are horsepower specific.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the part number for this pump part?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePentair lists this pump part under part number 356174Z. Quote 356174Z when you cross-reference against your equipment manual, an existing part, or a parts diagram, so you are comparing the same revision.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eShould I replace the seal at the same time?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhenever a pump is opened up, replacing the shaft seal and the housing O-rings at the same time is standard practice. The parts are inexpensive relative to a second teardown, and old seals rarely reseat properly once disturbed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do I confirm this fits my equipment?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMatch the part number stamped on the component you are replacing, or look it up in the parts list for your Pentair equipment. If your model or serial number is not named on this page, send it to us before you order and we will confirm the fit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat causes this part to fail?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe usual culprits are running the pump dry, debris passing through a damaged basket, and chemical attack from unbalanced water. Fixing the underlying cause matters as much as fitting the replacement, or the new part will fail the same way.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs there a warranty on this pump part?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt carries the standard Pentair manufacturer warranty. The terms are set by Pentair, and on some equipment the coverage only applies when a licensed professional performs the installation.
