volute replacement on polaris PB-4 booster pump.
My booster pump is spraying when only the pool pump is on and spraying
like a fountain when the booster pump itself is on. The problem is a hairline crack at the bottom of the volute that extends around about 35% of it. Now the solution is to replace the volute. A $38 part on here. That is plumbed in at the top and at the center to the rest of my pool equipment. The question is: can I replace this myself. And if so how might I go about it. Both removal and replacement. Thanks in advance for any advice. I am something of a pluming rookie but I replace the seals in this pump successfully. Thanks, David |

Sure, if you've managed to replace the seals, you should be capable of disassembling what you need to replace this part of the housing.

No I replacing the seals has nothing to do with the pump supply or pump
discharge plumbing connections. I can take this pump apart in about 5 minutes. But these too connections involve plumbing connections and I am not sure what to do with them. Any ideas on these two connections? Richard J Kinch wrote: The question is: can I replace this myself. And if so how might I go about it. Both removal and replacement.

Ashton: if you email I iwll send you a picture of
my pump connections. Thanks, David Ashton Crusher wrote: I'd have to see pictures to be sure but if your problem is like I had the only way to do it was to cut the pipes. I thought about it a while and figured out where I could cut them so that I could reconnect them with removable fittings. If you want I can send you a photo of what I did.
