"ALLYN CHRISTOPHER: Okay, our turbine's properly installed there as well as these bearings. Look at that. It's practically a perpetual motion machine. There it goes, there it goes, beautiful. Now, it's ready to be sealed back in place. What we're going to do here is one of the parts--one of the very few parts, we're going to reuse is the turbine shaft shield. I'll say it three times. Turbine shaft shield. Shaft shield. There are just a couple of places where it goes here and we're going to put this on right here as a place holder and then we are going to take--yes, now the screws from this are going to be the originals too. And again, low torque, low speed. It should make that clicking sound. But you're not going to hear the clicking sound 'cause I'm not tightening them all the way 'cause this has a--you can see over here, it's keyed, so that it can slide in and out and once we get the next piece on, we're going to set it at the perfect, perfect setting for it, look at that. All right, here's our old one. This is the turbine shield, the turbine itself, and still has the old tube attached and so again I'm going to turn it out. Again, one of the pieces that doesn't come in the kit, very rarely does anything happen to this. So, you're more likely to break it during a repair than you are to actually do it--for it break itself during operation. Old tube, you see it's a little warped, stiff, doesn't want to retain, it's not good. Good thing the kit comes with a brand new, flexible, very supple. Okay, so what we're going to do now here and I've already pre-lubed the inside of it with a little bit of the same Teflon or silicone lubricant used before just sort of slide it over here, okay? And then we're going to install these. Now these look like common zip ties, they're not very far from it. Big difference with these is that they're made of material that can withstand use of chlorine and--a good pull there--they're actually maybe hard to see, but they're actually concave to meet this, so it doesn't grab or leave a gap, and we don't have any water leakage. All right, my little wonder tool over here has a little--anyway, a pair of scissors will do it or a set of dikes, and we've got that set on here. Very good and now we're going to actually install and do the final installation and tweaking of the turbine."
