By my local pool store today to get a new shaft seal for a superpump that is just 3 months old.
Local store said they stopped carrying hayward pumps after 20 years because they started having a lot of problems with lockup.

Hard to get parts and poor tech support but I have had 2 jaccuzzi pumps and both lasted 10 years each without any problem. Then it was just a shaft seal but thought after 10 years I was do for a new pump.
Switched to hayward and now 3 months and a shaft seal leak.
