These old bell and gosit..pumps lasted a lifetime. If maintained keep them oiled ..and a spare set of springs couplers..on hand. Glad u kept same..as old one
In a situation like that, I always tie the discharge side pipe with wire or crank up the hanger to raise it to get the old pump out and drop the new one in. You never want to slide it between the flanges for risk of tearing the gaskets. The other reason is you don’t want the pipe to drop when you remove the pump. You can do a lot of damage to the piping making a one hour change out into a four hour repipe job, which you wont get paid for.
😂😂 sitting here this morning drinking my coffee an listening to water drain out of the pump wishing this white stuff falling out of the sky was rain water 😂😂 I rarely rebuild repair a pump. It has to be an emergency overtime service call to do that R&R brand new pump and no headaches.
You couldn’t rebuild that pump? Just started watching. That’s what those pumps were good for, spring couplings and such easy rebuilding. Unless the motor is completely dead.
We could have but the coupling portion was broken and the motor was really loud even tho it was free wheeling so we decided to just replace the whole thing.
I took one of those pumps out of my system and replaced with a Taco pump. Couldn't see spending the time rebuilding it......Taco pump is quieter and uses less electricity.

Me too friend! Lol
Keep a ratchet strap or bottle jack with a 2x4 so you can lift/jack the pipe up to give you some room. Thanks for the vid!
Good idea!
Nice work Jeff.

Still easier to do pump without the pump housing messing with lines usually has problems. Certainly cheaper for customer@JeffsHVACAdventures

And the third of the cost
You dont think an ecm motor would have been better. At least much cheaper
May have.
