Water leaks from the clear pump lid area when the pump is running.

Safety First: Turn OFF the pump before removing the lid.

• Inspect and clean: Remove the lid and clean the mating surfaces on both the lid and pump housing. Remove any sand or debris.
• Examine O‑ring: Check the O‑ring for cracks, cuts, or flattening. Replace with a Rheem‑specified O‑ring if any damage is found.
• Lubricate O‑ring: Apply a thin coat of pool‑safe silicone lubricant to help the O‑ring seat properly.
• Check lid condition: Inspect the clear lid for hairline cracks or warping. Replace the lid if damaged.
• Reinstall correctly: Hand‑tighten the lid evenly. Do not use tools that can overtighten and distort the lid.
