    Abstract: A fluid pump apparatus having on its first end a motor for power driving an elongated shaft, the shaft portion housed in a pump housing, with an impeller on the second end for routing fluid from an inlet to an outlet port. Toward its first end, the shaft is supported and rotates on a pair of oil bearings housed in an oil bath, for effecting rotation during the pumping action. On the second end, the improved apparatus further comprises a third set of bearings housed on that portion of the shaft adjacent the impeller blade, between the pump housing and the shaft. There is further provided a pair of angular rubber grease seals on either set of the bearings wherein grease injected into the cavity housing the bearings and grease seals fills a void between each pair of grease seals so that the seal members are moved into a rigid sealing position between the shaft and the housing.
