Swimables Seal Plate Compatible with Pentair Whisperflo and Intelliflo

In this review of the Swimables 074564 seal plate kit, the bottom line is simple: it is for pool owners or service techs who need a robust, made-in-USA replacement for a Pentair Whisperflo or Intelliflo pump seal plate and want a complete swap with gasket and shaft seal included. The single biggest reason to buy is durability - the replacement is molded from virgin PBT with about 30% more material than the OEM, aiming to outlast older plates while reducing the chance of leaks when paired with the included PS-1000 shaft seal and seal plate gasket.

Key Features

• Compatibility: Works with Pentair Whisperflo and Pentair Intelliflo pump models so you can install it on common Whisperflo 1HP and Intelliflo 2 VST pumps without guesswork.
• Complete kit: Ships with a genuine PS-1000 shaft seal and a seal plate gasket so users replace the parts that typically fail together, reducing return trips.
• Durable material: Made from virgin PBT in the USA for a stiffer, more resilient seal plate compared with typical OEM material.
• Reinforced design: Built with roughly 30% more material for increased strength and resistance to cracking under regular pump stresses.
• Maintenance guidance: The product notes recommend checking diffuser and impeller condition, which helps ensure the new seal plate performs as intended after installation.

Who It's For

Pool owners doing DIY maintenance on older Whisperflo or Intelliflo pumps, plus professional pool technicians who prefer a US-made replacement part, will find this kit especially useful. It suits anyone replacing a worn seal plate who also wants the shaft seal and gasket included to complete the repair in one visit.

Those who should look elsewhere are people who need a direct OEM branded component for warranty reasons or owners whose diffuser or impeller are cracked - the listing advises replacing those parts too, and this kit does not include them.
