Is $1,200 to replace a Hayward 2600 super pump a fair price?
Project Details
I am a retired homeowner. I've been experiencing water leakage beneath my Hayward 2600 super pump. I tried to fix it myself by buying and installing a Hayward seal kit, cleaning and polishing the impeller shaft, and lubricating all seals, but it's still leaking. The leak appears to be at the base where the motor mount plate meets the seal for the pump strainer housing, with no leaks from the motor air weep holes. My local supplier suggested replacing the entire unit due to suspected warping of the pump strainer housing or mount plate, but I'm questioning if this warping is likely. I'm considering an alternative approach of buying a new mounting plate, impeller, and seal kit to try and fix it myself one last time, essentially replacing everything but the strainer base and the motor. I'm also wondering if a liquid gasket product could help. I need advice on how to check the studs in the wet housing and what pump to consider if a full replacement becomes necessary.
