It is the genuine part, supplied with both pieces so the ring and its gasket are replaced together.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat it does\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe lock ring draws the strainer lid down against the pot and the gasket makes the seal. That seal is what lets the pump hold vacuum and stay primed. On a commercial pump the lid comes off often for basket cleaning, so the ring threads and the gasket see far more cycles than most pump parts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhen to replace it\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf the pump loses prime after the basket is cleaned, runs noisy, or the pot will not fill completely, the seal at the lid is the first thing to check. A gasket that has flattened or a ring that no longer pulls down evenly lets the pump draw air instead of water. The clear EQ Series strainer lid itself is a separate part if that is also damaged.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pentair","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48627946684628,"sku":"PAC-101-6790","price":614.18,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0801\/9568\/2516\/files\/default_67696217-9fa8-4b11-bceb-bec5cd05115d.jpg?v=1788730565","url":"https:\/\/www.activepoolsupply.com\/products\/lock-ring-lid-gasket-eq","provider":"Active Pool Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
