I replaced my shaft seal and when I hooked it all back up. I went to turn it on and it would not turn it hums but not turning any suggestions to what I did wrong. Any advice would help it’s a Hayward power flo LX pump.
Thanks

I am unaware of a way to make it work. You can add liquid chlorine to the pool and move it around with a pool pole. That will keep the pool from turning green while the pump is down.

Do you know where I could get the one I need

Yes, it could. Maybe the spring has lost its tension and it is allowing the impeller to thread further down the shaft.

I thought I did but I didn’t change the spring portion could it be wore out?

Melissa - It's possible that the impeller was overly tightened. Some of the Power-Flo motors have a capacitor and that could be bad. It could also be wired incorrectly or with the wrong voltage.
