Oberdorfer 1828.9 Saddle – OEM Pump Replacement Part
Pedestal mounted pumps depend on the mounting for alignment as well as support. The Oberdorfer 1828.9 is the factory part for that duty.
Vibration is the thing to watch. A pump that has started to walk on its mounts will shake the alignment out of a coupling and work fasteners loose, and the noise it makes is often the first clue that anything is wrong.
Check alignment after remounting on any pedestal or coupled installation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Should all the mounts be renewed together?
Yes. One new mount alongside three compressed ones puts the pump out of level and loads the coupling unevenly.
Q: How tight should mounting fasteners be?
Firm enough that nothing moves, but not so tight that rubber isolators are crushed solid, which defeats the point of fitting them.
Q: Does remounting affect alignment?
On a coupled installation, always. Recheck alignment once everything is bolted down.
Q: What causes mounting hardware to fail early?
Vibration from a pump that is already out of balance or out of alignment, and salt water sitting where it cannot drain.
