Default Re: re packing a water pump

When I put string type packing in I wind it the opposite direction of rotation. That way any water will want to feed back into the pump not out. While the graphite packing will work see if they have a small package of the Teflon type faucet packing. Both should come in small blister packs so you don't have to buy a full spool.
