What This Part Does

Common Signs You Need a New Strainer Cover
- Cracks, chips, or stress marks in the clear lid

- Air leaks around the lid area (after confirming O-ring condition)
- Warping or poor fit at the clamp sealing surface
Installation Notes
- Turn off power to the pump before servicing.
- Clean the lid sealing surface and strainer pot rim thoroughly.

- Seat the lid evenly and secure it with the correct old-style metal clamp assembly.
- Restart the pump and check for air leaks or seepage around the lid.
