Due to the discharge pressure, the fluid attempts to exit through the rotating shaft. The pump shaft seal allows the rotating shaft to enter the ‘wet’ area of the pump without leaking fluids.
How does a pool pump seal work?
Shaft Seals prevent water from leaking along the motor shaft, just behind where it connects to the impeller. The motor shaft goes through the seal plate, or the bracket that connects to the pump.
