Used 2 weeks and broken

I had to replace the motor so I put a new gasket in the block. When I got home the pump was working but not pumping water. Disassembled, and the gland crumbled

Pros
  • Certified
Cons
  • Functionality

Good pump seal. Best in Swimming

I have used this brand of seal for many years. As good as always. If you are a homeowner, be sure to install it properly. I've seen homeowners install them backwards and they won't work that way, also be sure to keep the sealing surfaces clean.

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Not sure

General product. Not US Stamped

Rated 3 just because it is not a US stamped product but an unnamed product from Mexico. Looks exactly like the US Seal product I used to seal my pump. The two weeks I bought are saved and I will use them as needed. Hope they work correctly.

Pros
  • Hands Free
Cons
  • Some Cons

NOT "Fits most square flange pool motors. "

Fast delivery and good price but NOT "Fits most square flange pool motors". Be careful and do your research. The PS-201 looks identical in the photos but is very different in size. Don't make the same mistake I did, or not only will you have more downtime, you'll also have to pay for return shipping.

Pros
  • Very impressive
Cons
  • Damaged

Purchase gaskets from your local pool supplier, they may be fresher.

I ordered two sets of these seals with a Century pump. Both kits broke (collapsed) almost immediately after installation, possibly due to the product's storage time and heat. bought from the same manufacturer US Seal Mfg BUT from a local supplier and they worked perfectly.

Pros
  • Free for educational purposes
Cons
  • No automatic

I couldn't figure out the exact correct installation.

I couldn't figure out exactly how to install this properly because there were no instructions in the kit. My husband and I ended up searching Google and YouTube for this product to find the right way to install it. It does the job but wish it had instructions on how to install it properly, it would make my life a lot easier.

Pros
  • Sturdy finish
Cons
  • Compatibility

Wrong parts recommended.

I ordered a pool motor and was told that this seal and o-rings are normally bought together. So I bought a motor, o-rings and gasket and the only thing that fit in my pool was the motor. O-rings and O-rings were not suitable for this engine. Someone needs to make sure the parts they are recommending for use with what you are buying are the right parts! I will never buy recommended parts again!

Pros
  • Sturdy construction
Cons
  • Useless features
