  • ps-100 , ps-200 , ps-201 mechanical seal

    200c Mechanical Seal (PS-200) — 5/8″Hayward Max-Flo II & Pentair SuperFlo Pool Pumps

    200c Mechanical Seal (PS-200) — 5/8″Hayward Max-Flo II & Pentair SuperFlo Pool Pumps

    Mechanical Seal 200 — Type 166 (5/8″) | PS-200

    Equal to industry standard 200 / PS-200.
    Direct-fit Type 166 single-spring seal for pool/spa and small-pump applications—built with molded carbon / ceramic faces and Buna-N elastomers for dependable everyday service.

    At-a-glance specs: 5/8″ shaft • 1.25″ × 0.406″ cup seat • Carbon/Ceramic faces • Buna-N elastomers

    Fits: Hayward Max-Flo II® and Max-Flo VS (SPX1250XZ2), Pentair / Pac-Fab Challenger®, Dynamo®, Dynatron® and Pinnacle®, Sta-Rite Dura-Glas® and Max-E-Glas® Series PE, PEA, P2R and P2RA, plus Speck, Waterway, Jacuzzi, Astral Pool and Doughboy pool and spa pumps. The original Hayward Max-Flo (SP2800X) and Dura-Glas II / Max-E-Glas II take the PS-201; pre-1998 Dura-Glas takes the PS-100.


    Same seal, same size, same fit — what changes is the material and how it’s built. All five seals below are the PS-200 for a 5/8″ shaft, and all five fit the same pumps. They differ in two ways. The build: a molded carbon face or a premium carbon face machined from solid stock. The materials: a ceramic or silicon carbide seat, and Nitrile or Viton rubber. Pick the one that suits your water.

    Seal Material Best For This Water
    200c Molded carbon face, ceramic seat, Nitrile rubber Normal chlorine, normal temperature, clear water. The standard build for a home pool or spa.
    200cv Molded carbon face, ceramic seat, Viton rubber Saltwater or higher chlorine, and warmer water. Viton holds up where standard Nitrile hardens and cracks.
    516 Machined premium carbon face, ceramic seat, Nitrile rubber Saltwater pools with a chlorine generator, commercial pools, or any pump that runs most of the day.
    3867 Machined premium carbon face, ceramic seat, Viton rubber High chlorine and hot water — heated spas, therapy pools, heavy commercial duty.
    200cvss Silicon carbide face and seat, Viton rubber Sandy, dusty or gritty water, or any pump where seals keep failing early. The hardest faces we offer.
