{"product_id":"pump-faceplate-o-ring","title":"Waterway Pump Volute Faceplate O-Ring","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Waterway 805-0256 is the volute faceplate o-ring for Hi-Flo above ground pumps. It measures 5-3\/4 in. inside diameter, 6 in. outside diameter, with a 1\/8 in. cord.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat it seals\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe o-ring sits between the faceplate and the volute, on the suction side of the pump. Everything there runs under vacuum while the pump is working, which means a seal that has hardened, cracked or taken a permanent set does not simply drip, it pulls air in. That shows up as a pump that will not hold prime, air in the pump pot, or a pump that primes and then loses it after a while.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFitting\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eClean the groove before the new o-ring goes in and use a silicone o-ring lubricant. That helps it seat evenly and stops it rolling or pinching as the faceplate is drawn down, which is the usual reason a fresh o-ring still leaks.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Waterway","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48627949011156,"sku":"WWP-851-8022","price":9.55,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0801\/9568\/2516\/files\/default_892bcac5-566f-4d65-b416-61d5b79abfeb.jpg?v=1788730638","url":"https:\/\/www.activepoolsupply.com\/products\/pump-faceplate-o-ring","provider":"Active Pool Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
