Do you require a mechanical seal for a water pump, swimming pool pump or spa pump application? If so read this article…
With over ten years specific experience, Acumen are leading suppliers of seals for the International Swimming Pools Industry. We have a comprehensive range of seal assemblies and designs, backed by an ex-stock service. Water is a poor lubricant and this in combination with frequent high shaft speeds, possible dry running and the chemicals utilised in pool systems, creates demanding environments for mechanical seal faces.

If the pump begins to leak or it is due a service it is common practice to replace the mechanical seal.
Mechanical seals usually last for several years but this does of course depend on the working conditions and numbers of hours being worked by the pump.

Some of them offer consumers up to five years warranty, but what do you do if the unit breaks after this period? Usually if the pump begins to leak the majority of the time it will be down to the mechanical seal unit inside.
The mechanical seal is a device which sits onto the shaft within the housing and works by trapping a microscopic thin layer of water between its faces. When the rotary element rotates with the shaft it then creates a seal against the stationary part.
