How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off the pump before opening the lid to avoid drawing in air.

  • Inspect O‑ring: Check for cracks, flat spots, or stretching. Replace with the correct Lowara O‑ring if any damage is found.
  • Lubricate: Apply a thin film of silicone‑based lubricant to the O‑ring to improve sealing and ease of installation.
  • Reinstall lid: Seat the O‑ring properly and tighten the lid evenly by hand. Do not overtighten.
  • Check for leaks: Restart the pump and observe the lid area for drips.
