I need a replacement seal for a Dolphin Amp master 3000. Dolphin pumps have me a link to a US disributor, $28 for seal, $60 for shipping.......


Any help, Thx

Does J&L no longer carry them? I know they use to.

I emailed JL about 4 days ago. No response at all.. Kinda disappointing really. I would rather get from them. I have some other things I need and am holding off a little while.

J&L quit selling this brand a year or so back. When they were clearing out the stock, I picked up the marine abraisive proof seal for mine. I had replaced the standard heavy duty seal once with the same and it was weeping again so I bought another new seal to put in then never got round to it. Then after getting the abrasive proof seal instead, I put the standard one away as a spare.

If you come up short on getting one, I'd let you have this one to get you going again. I think I could ship it to you for under $60 (probably $58 tops :lol:). Just the same, I'd suggest going for the abrasive proof seal now and save yourself the hassle of doing this routine all over again in a year or so. Mine has not had any more seepage since upgrading. its a lot more expensive, but worth it.

Thx, I seen the abrasive prood seal on the link posted above. customaquatic.com Was $90something US OUCH. But, it cured the leaking?? I got all this equiptment Used. Just reciently I found out they are nicknames Leakmasters LOL. I can't afford a leak. So I guess it's the Abrasive proof one for me. Just emailed customaquatic.com and asked them about shipping.
Thx for the info

PS, I found one at Aquarium Lighting Supply for 119 shipped. Pricey, but if it's the last seal I have to buy.

That sounds about right, I paid $140 for that in J&L about 4 years ago. Still have it on my shelf, the only reason I'm not selling the pump.
