Quick overview
- Genuine Pentair Factory part 219001 rather than a generic o-ring of roughly the right size.
- For LeafVac lids The sealing o-ring used on Pentair LeafVac lids.
- Restores suction A hardened or flattened o-ring lets air past the lid, and the canister stops holding debris the way it should.
- Cheap insurance The o-ring is the least expensive part of the assembly and the one most likely to be the cause of a problem.
- Inspect at the same time Look over the lid and the canister for cracks while the o-ring is out.
- Lubricate on assembly A thin film of a pool rated silicone o-ring lubricant helps the lid seat and makes the next removal easier.

Product details
The Pentair 219001 is the replacement o-ring for LeafVac lids. It is the genuine Pentair part, sized for the lid it seals rather than a generic ring of approximately the right diameter.
Why the o-ring matters
The lid seal is what lets the canister hold what it collects. When the o-ring hardens, flattens or takes a set, air gets past the lid and debris that should stay in the canister no longer does. Owners often start looking at the cleaner or the pump when a two dollar seal is the actual fault.
Fitting
Clean the groove before the new o-ring goes in, check the lid and canister for cracks while everything is apart, and put a thin film of a pool rated silicone lubricant on the ring so it seats evenly. Skip petroleum based greases, which swell rubber over time.
