Installation Instructions

Troubleshooting
-
Air entering pump: Verify the O-ring is clean, lubricated and seated correctly, and ensure the ring is tightened evenly.
-
Water leak at lid: Clean the sealing surface and inspect O-ring for wear or debris.
-
Lid cloudy or cracked: Replace immediately to maintain visibility and ensure proper sealing.
Maintenance Tip
Inspect the lid and O-ring at the start of every season. Apply a silicone-based lubricant to the O-ring and replace the cover assembly when cracks, clouding or sealing issues appear. This helps maintain pump efficiency and protects the system from air intrusion.
