PSS mechanical seal for current pools and indoor powered rowing tanks.

Current Pools &
Indoor Powered Rowing Tank Seals

PYI Inc. supplies seals for indoor powered rowing tanks and continuous flow pools to manufacturers throughout the US. These very complex systems are installed at universities around the world allowing athletes to train year round with a real water feel and they have eliminated their leakage problems using the PSS Shaft Seal.

Compensates For Misalignment

The carbon stator is bored larger than the shaft diameter, allowing it to "float" around the shaft and compensate for most misalignment and vibration problems.

Dripless

Unlike traditional stuffing boxes the PSS mechanical seal is completely dripless.

Why PSS?

Flexible Design: In addition to carrying standard sizing, a major advantage of the PSS Shaft Seal is its ability to be customized to adapt to an existing installation or design. Because of the ability to design the seal to fit most existing systems, engineers are unconstrained by seal size requirements. The time frame for custom seals is usually very low, 3 to 4 weeks.

Reliable & Durable: Due to its simple design the PSS Shaft Seal is durable and reliable, with a typical life span of 25,000 running hours. Under clean water conditions the seal can exceed 100,000+ running hours. The unique "float design" & flexibility of the PSS Shaft Seal allows for substantial axial movement of the shaft while still operating correctly.

Low maintenance & Ease of Installation: Minimal maintenance is required under normal working conditions with replacement parts readily available. Unlike other sealing systems, the seal does not wear the shaft or surrounding materials during operation which results in longer maintenance intervals.
