water was leaking below the lid, replaced the gasket . It doesn't leak as bad but now I have a leak on the top below the handle where the white o ring goes, I put in a new white o ring too.

Thank you for the plain, common sense language and demo unlike most videos on here. Is that a variable speed pump? We bought one to replace our old pump last year but haven’t installed yet.
@retrotechandelectronics6 жыл бұрын
I would recommend installing the variable speed pump ASAP. it is much friendlier on your wallet!!! My pump has been variable speed for the last 7 years.

Do you drain the filter or shut off external valves to prevent pool or hot-tub water from coming back up into housing once you 'pop the top'?
@retrotechandelectronics2 жыл бұрын
I drain the filter, then the water level is lower than the housing.

How in the world were you able to get the old gasket out??? What should have been a simple fix is turning into a nightmare. I have only been able to remove pieces of the old gasket by brute force and still have the outside ring portion to remove. Help!
@defdc2 жыл бұрын
I'm in the same boat... Argh!
@roypowlan96135 ай бұрын
The way I got my gasket removed is to use a utility knife to cut down both sides of the old gasket groove first. Then with a long narrow screwdriver with the business end sharpened like a chisel, work it under the gasket, essentially cutting it away from the bottom of the groove. Use the utility knife to make an incision so that you can access the underside of the old gasket. Use a rocking motion to cut the old gasket away. Any residual gasket material may then be removed with the same sharpened screwdriver. This procedure still took me SIX HOURS on my hands and knees. Persistence is the key.

DON'T put oil where the knob dial seats. Oil is a dirt magnet. Wind carry dust and sooner that later it will act like sand paper. Your problem will even become worse. RV window track lubricant would be appropriate.

I just took off my gasket. Not a good idea to put adhesive on entire gasket. That is why the manufacturer only recommends to apply adhesive to corners. May be good now but you will pay for it next time...it's going to be real bitch to remove.remove.
@retrotechandelectronics5 жыл бұрын
The type two adhesive would only be slightly more difficult to remove when applying to the entire gasket, but would significantly reduce the chances of gasket separation.

I'll take your word for it. But I just took off the previous one, which was the original, and it was very difficult...took a while. Thanks for feedback.
