Purchased a new impeller and i had a question about the paper gasket. Their response was that I didnt need the paper gasket since i had a PCM motor.
Whats up with that? |

That doesn't seem like the clearest explanation but:
Some of the kits come with the paper gaskets and some don't. I would say that it must not always be necessary, because SkiDim doesn't even sell the kits that come with the paper gasket. What's more important is the rubber ring. I actually bought a kit from WhiteLake last year that included an assortment of paper gaskets as well as the O-Ring. I used the O-Ring and found a paper gasket in the kit that fit my pump, so I used that too. Not totally sure if I neeeded to though, I don't think there was a paper one in there before. |

Agreed, I thought the explanation was a bit short, but last time I bought an impeller I didn’t get any gaskets (just the o-ring).
Come to find out, I do need to purchase this gasket which got damaged in the disassembly. http://www.skidim.com/prodinfo.asp?number=RM0125 It goes on the opposite side of the brass plate |

So this one:
http://www.skidim.com/prodinfo.asp?number=RM0125 is a little thicker than the paper ones, right? The kit I bought was this: http://www.nautiqueparts.com/sherwoodimpellerkit.aspx and included paper ones. I used one of them, but I'd say they were only a little thicker than wax paper or something. That ski dim one seems like more of a thin cork material. Don't remember even seeing that, but there could subtle differences in these Sherwood pumps year to year. BTW: Ski Dim does claim that they'll work with you on the shipping of small items. I ordered a (very small) dash breaker switch for about $20 that had another $10 shipping charge according to the site. Karen had told me another time that they keep an eye on the really small items and will put them in a USPS envelope if they can. I'll find out if that's the case. |

Just got my invoice from SkiDim and they did cut me a break on shipping for that switch
Only half the original price of shipping; came to 5 dollars and change. |
