The o-ring between the diffuser and the housing is what stops water taking the short way around the impeller instead of through it. When that o-ring flattens or hardens, the pump moves less water than the motor is working for, and priming can take longer than it should.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFitting\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eReplace it whenever the wet end is open. A used o-ring has taken a set in the groove it came from and rarely seals as well the second time. A silicone based o-ring lubricant on assembly helps it seat evenly and makes the next service easier.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Waterway","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48634258292948,"sku":"WWP-101-0238","price":5.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0801\/9568\/2516\/files\/default_c82daa20-3ed0-43b0-b159-26699cb61131.jpg?v=1788827814","url":"https:\/\/www.activepoolsupply.com\/products\/diffuser-o-ring-1","provider":"Active Pool Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
