How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn off the pump before removing the lid.
- Inspect O‑ring: Remove the lid and examine the O‑ring for cracks, flat spots, or stretching. Replace with the correct Emaux lid O‑ring if damaged.
- Clean sealing surfaces: Wipe the groove and mating surface on the pump housing to remove sand or debris that can prevent sealing.
- Lubricate O‑ring: Apply a thin coat of silicone-based lubricant to help the O‑ring seat and seal properly.
- Check lid for cracks: If the clear lid is crazed or cracked, replace it with an Emaux OEM lid to ensure proper fit.
Do not overtighten the lid; excessive force can warp the lid or housing and cause leaks.
