Water is leaking from the clear lid area of the Pahlén pool pump

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

• Inspect O-ring: Remove the lid and examine the O-ring for cracks, flattening, or cuts. Replace if damaged.
• Clean sealing surfaces: Wipe the lid groove and pump housing lip clean of sand, scale, or debris.
• Lubricate O-ring: Apply a thin coat of silicone-based lubricant to the O-ring to improve sealing and ease of installation.
• Reinstall lid: Seat the lid evenly and tighten according to Pahlén instructions. Do not overtighten, as this can crack the lid.
