Lucy, what size o rings? I have the same set up. Thanks for the vid. It's a big help!

Unfortunately the best advice I can tell you is to bring the handle into the pool store. The client had gone in without the handle and was given the wrong sizes. So after we cut the 'O' rings off, we brought the handle in and made sure they found us ones that fit. Bring the old 'O' rings in so they can get the width right. Many are the same circumference, but are skinnier or too wide. The store may have to special order them. If worse comes to worst, you can just cut the darn thing out, and clean your filter like a cartridge filter, i.e., remove the drain plug and open the filter up. I have a video on cleaning D.E.filters the easy way. Hope this helps. All the best, Lucy

sorry the rings are special??

[@Lucyspools-diy-service-tips]

Yes. The best thing to do is to remove the handle and bring it to the pool store. They can tell you which "O" rings to buy. If they don't have them ask for the specific part number and see if Amazon or another pool store has them.
