Full tear down of Intex SF80110 pool filter pump and bearing replacement. Original bearings are 608ZZ. OD-22mm, ID-8mm, width-7mm, with a metal shield on both sides. Replaced with 608-2RS (rubber shields).
This is gold! Thank you for this informative video! I'll be doing this to my INTEX 26647EG SX2800 Krystal Clear Sand Filter Pump for Above Ground Pools, 14in very soon and will report back with the bearing sizes.
thanks for the video. not my exact unit but looks very similar to mine. One thing to make the bearings go back easier is to put the bearing in a warm spot and put the armature in a plastic bag and put it in the freezer for a few hours. sometimes the bearings will just slide on easy with no tapping at all. An old machinist friend of mine taught that one years ago and has saved me from riuining bearings trying to put them back on shafts. O have bearing pullers but think I like your visegrip method might try that one on my motor.
Mine is a newer SF60110-2 16inch 3000gph mine used bearings 6201rs I easily found on Amazon cause I couldn’t find locally basically everything was same principal with a few minor changes in updated model but since i couldn’t find video for my newer pump I thought id share my knowledge for the next guy
Like to add one note for my previous comment hardest part of this job is getting the motor bolts out my unit hard 4 this older motor only had 3 but just fyi heat those nuts up good with propane torch head like he says they are loctited and screw head on mine is philips head need less to say first one I striped the philips so I had to use a hacksaw and turn it into a flathead screw but worked great that way
How tight did you screw on the impeller when reassembling? When I tighten mine all the way it rubs up against the pump housing causing the motor to not spin as smoothly.
Revisit your steps. Something doesn't seem right. The impeller fastener does not need to be tight. Roughly 60in-lb. But even if it is a little too tight, there should be no rubbing.
Yes. It will get noisy. Ideally you want to replace the bearings before catastrophic failure which could damage seals if the shaft vibrates too much or the motor could burn out if it seizes. Plus that extra noise means more energy (electricity) is being consumed.
The ZZ is a metal shield vs the RS rubber shield. I used a basic 608RS. I'll see how long they last. Look for an EMQ (electric motor quality) rating for a better bearing.
Ordered the 608 sets, tore it apart yesterday to find out they are the wrong size... ordered 6201zz overnight from amazon... think my model is slightly different. noticed a different cap and board...
Got it and ordered! Thank you so much, I was having a really hard time figuring out exactly which bearing it is. These motors were discontinued due to the newer models coming out.
Really good video. You have paid a lot of attention to details.
Worked Very Well, Thank You. Had the same bearings left over from my 3D printing projects

I wonder if he survived the job?

Thank you for taking the time to make one of the most detailed and helpful tutorials I have ever seen.

Also recommend buying bearing puller instead of the plyer trick shown in video at least for the sf60110-2
This has helped me with a new version of the pump as well. It’s diferent inside, but overall the process is the same. Thank you for the guide.
Rockstar you are. Thanks

How do you know if the bearing are bad. I think my problem is the that looks like a bearing on the impeller
You will hear it when it is running. It will make a terrible noise, usually high pitched at first, and a rattle noise when it is really bad.
Any tricks for removing the impeller?
Question...how do you know when the bearings are shot? Does pump start to get really noisy when it's on?
Yes. It will get noisy. Ideally you want to replace the bearings before catastrophic failure which could damage seals if the shaft vibrates too much or the motor could burn out if it seizes. Plus that extra noise means more energy (electricity) is being consumed.
Where did you get the bearings?
I bought them on Amazon but the first ones I bought weren't very good quality. I also switched to sealed bearings instead of the steel shielded.
Most of the 6082RS that I'm finding are low RMP oiled not greased for skateboards etc... curious what you switched to. Should I stay with the 608ZZ?
The ZZ is a metal shield vs the RS rubber shield. I used a basic 608RS. I'll see how long they last. Look for an EMQ (electric motor quality) rating for a better bearing.

Do you know the model of the seal?
These are the same as Skateboard Bearings from Amazon
Where did you get the bearings
Amazon. 608-2RS. Look for EMQ (motor quality)

Vid is rong, Bearings are rong size' sould be 6201-2RS Double Rubber Seal, or Pcs 6201ZZ Double Metal Seal
Not on this pump. Or shood I say nt on ths puump.
just did mine. Same motor. All i can say is pull your's apart first and use a Digital Caliper FIRST' 😊😊 other than that vids spot on.
