This is Poolside Chat, where every week we answer your questions
on how to fix and maintain your swimming pool.
Poolside Chat is presented by INYOpools.com,
helping pool owners find the right parts since 2001.
Now here's your hosts, Matt and Rob.
Hello, and welcome back to another educational episode
of Poolside Chat, presented by INYOpools.com
I'm rob.
And I am Matt.
Educational and enlightening. Right, Rob?
Yes. At least that's what the prompter tells me.
Oh...
He's a good reader.
Today's question is going to be focusing on Tune Up Kits aka Go-Kits.
Now, these are gasket kits that go along with your pump housing.
It's going to include a lid O-ring, a housing O-ring, diffuser O-ring, and a shaft seal.
We have Brian from Morristown in Tennessee. He has a question:
“I'm replacing my UST1072 pool pump motor
and would like to replace the seals.
Which Tune Up Kit do I need?”
Rob?
Well, Brian, I wish there was a universal kit for your UST 1072 motor,
but unfortunately there's not.
The kits are going to be determined by the make and model of your pool pump.
These motors are used in several different pumps
and the seals are different for each pump,
so you want to make sure you identify your pool pump,
then you'll select the correct Tune Up Kit.
The best way in identifying your pool pump
is to look on the housing,
which is the plastic part that the motor bolts on to.
It's going to have a silver tag on there, it says "pump model number,"
which is pretty simple to read.
And depending on the manufacturer, it's going to have different formats,
but it'll just say "pump model number."
If that is faded out or it's not there anymore,
you can look on the pump lid to get a part name from there
and we can identify it for you.
If none of that exists or you just can't find the part number anywhere on that pump,
you can always give us a call or email us, and we can help identify it for you.
The phone number to call is 877-372-6038,
and the email is upload@inyopools.com.
Just send an email with a picture or with just an overview of the pump
and we can help identify it.
We're basically the Columbo of pools,
we can identify anything just by a couple of pictures.
So if you can't do it yourself, we'll do it for you.
But that should answer it.
I think I'd be the Sherlock in that case, and you'd be the Watson.
No.
No?
I'm definitely the Robert Downey Jr. in this situation.
Oh, Okay.
Yes. Yes.
Well, you're a Jude Law.
That counts. That works for something.
Consolation prize. You're Jude Law.
You're losing your hair.
This has been another great episode.
