Ss failing pump?

[Bricks]

Hi!
Hey I realize this pump needs attention or maybe a complete pump?? But I noticed this morning that when the SFR is on in bay 1, the pump has pressure and leaks more. Could it be the switch in the bay? A check valve? Thank you very much for any help.

The gauge is reading the pressure on the line, which is normal. The leak look like just a leak at the fitting.

Do yourself a huge favor and replace that high-pressure hose with braided hose and a brass barb before you have a problem with rust particles in the valves.

Thanks! Can you send me a link of what parts you mean ? That hose is like 20’ I think.

I use the pushlock barbs because they have a larger I.D. than regular ones, and since there isn't usually pressure on the pump inlet hose you don't need clamps. The blue stuff I linked is way less than half the price of clear polybraid.

Ok you mean that little bypass hose? I thought you meant the one going to the attic. That leak isn’t at a fitting. It’s weird as hell. I turned on the pump with the remote (Thank you Randy for that!) and it barely leaked a drop at the head, whether it was idle or I was pulling the trigger. When I turned the switch to SFR is when it leaks (as the video shows). I talked to a tech and he says I just need to put new seals in it. Help me understand what the SFR is doing. Thanks

I'm referring to the 1/2" high pressure line going into the bottom left port. Is that looping back to the pump from the regulator?

The video doesn't show clearly where the leak is coming from. That's not a seal leaking, but it could be the seal retainer o-ring.
