Hi Guy's
These mechanical seals are basically the same as we now use in standard pumps in Hotels or we used to use on Subs. The only difference is the pressure they are up against.
The two most important things are.
1: They must be completley alligned (spelt wrong I know) Both vertically and horizontaly .Within half a milimiter is almost to much.
2: Dont touch the face with your hands. Any grease or oil will completely screw them up.
