Hayward pump keeps leaking

[bearcat]

HI Guys
Thank you for all your info I am going to check all those thing out,I had thought but the bent shaft but the new pumps I got were completely new, wet basket and all so that kind of ruled that out.What is Trichlor I use chlorine . The new pumps I got that leaked after 1 week were ru
n 24/7 ,so not shut down and restarts,could the vibration from the pump on the wood floor of the pumps house cause the blots to losen?what is the correct torque to bolt motor to the wet basket.
Thanks

Tri-Chlor is the standard 3" tabs that people put in automatic chlorinators or floaters, sold in every pool store.

Tri-Chlor adds chlorine, but also adds acid and stabilizer to your water. Sometimes people put the tab in the skimmer, which CAN be a problem when the pump is off as the erosion continues and concentrates chlorine in the lines into the filter or in the filter itself. But I don't believe it is USUALLY a problem.
