How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off power before removing the pump lid.

Steps to stop lid leak:

  • Clean sealing surfaces: Remove the Jacuzzi pump lid and O-ring. Clean the groove and lid mating surface.
  • Inspect O-ring: Check for cracks, flat spots, or stretching. Replace if damaged.
  • Lubricate: Apply a thin coat of silicone-based pool lube to the O-ring and reinstall.
  • Tighten evenly: Reinstall the lid, ensuring it seats evenly. Hand-tighten only; do not overtighten.

If leaks persist with a new O-ring, the lid or housing may be warped and require replacement.
