When it hardens, takes a permanent flat, or splits, the pump starts pulling air instead of water. The symptoms are familiar: a pot that never fills, a steady stream of bubbles at the returns, and a pump that loses prime every time it shuts down. Chasing that leak anywhere else in the plumbing usually wastes an afternoon.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFitting and care\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWipe the groove and the sealing face clean before the new ring goes in, and seat it fully so the cover does not pinch it. Dress it with a silicone based o-ring lubricant. Petroleum grease attacks rubber and will cost you the ring in a season.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hayward","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48626390597844,"sku":"HAY-101-3204","price":24.55,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0801\/9568\/2516\/files\/default_4500d896-66de-463d-9dd5-fec6fa91b497.png?v=1788709693","url":"https:\/\/www.activepoolsupply.com\/products\/o-ring-strainer-cover","provider":"Active Pool Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
