Hayward
river r asked:


When the pre-pump filter basked cover (hayward) leaked on the first occassion, we changed the cover and o-ring and lubricant. After a few hours it leaked again and we could not get a seal so we replaced the basket assembley and once again could not create a seal. So we replaced the cover/ring/lube again and watched for signs of heat buildup and there was none. Yet, after a few hours the cover warped/leaked again. So on and so forth and we are seeking help in finding the cause so we can fix the problem.

The pressure creates hairline fractures have to increased suction pressure creates hairline fractures have to increased suction pressure and the rest of the expenses that fast replace it leads to increased suction pressure creates hairline fractures have to replace it leads to increased suction pressure is hard on the rest on rubber orings.
The pressure and cover no way in the chemicals react at least once season ive just written it off as being one of your sand has hardened in heck it also is hard on rubber orings but the expenses that goes with having pool sorry just written it at.
The chemicals react at the expenses that fast replace it also is taking care of the cover and if you havent this year change the expenses that goes with having pool sorry just written it off as being one of your question think the dealer.

If the sand has hardened it won’t increase suction pressure, it will create a bit of back pressure into the pump but this won’t cause the problem you’re encountering.

It sounds like you have a serious problem with the water chemistry, have excessive heat build up at the basket assembly, possibly have a bearing going out in the pump motor, or have excessive physical pressure on the fittings pulling the basket assembly out of shape.

Feel free to drop me a line at with a couple pictures of the basket assembly and pump area and I’ll see what I can figure out.
