Compatibility and Fitment

Customers often want help confirming which O-ring matches their Ultra Flo pump. This section outlines what to check before visiting Discount Pool Mart.

How can I confirm the O-136 fits my Pentair Ultra Flo pump?

If your original lid uses Pentair part 39300300, the O-136 is the correct replacement. Many customers bring photos of their pump lid so staff can verify the fit quickly. The O-136 is molded to match the original groove dimensions.

Will the O-136 work on both older and newer Ultra Flo lids?

Yes, Pentair has used consistent sizing for the Ultra Flo lid seal across different production years. As long as the lid accepts the 39300300 O-ring, the O-136 will install cleanly.

Can this O-ring help fix low suction or difficulty maintaining prime?

Yes, worn lid seals commonly cause suction-side air leaks. Replacing the gasket with the O-136 helps eliminate bubbles and improves prime stability. Many walk-in customers replace this O-ring during routine pump maintenance.

Installation and Leak Prevention

Discount Pool Mart customers frequently ask how to seat the O-ring properly and how to ensure airtight operation.

How do I install the O-136 on an Ultra Flo lid?

Clean the lid channel, lubricate the O-ring lightly with silicone-based lubricant, and press it evenly into the groove. Make sure it sits flat without twists for a uniform seal.

Why might my pump still pull in air even with a new O-ring?

Check the pump lid for cracks, and ensure the lid is tightened evenly. Also inspect the suction plumbing for unrelated leaks. A properly installed O-136 should remove lid-related air issues.

How can I tell if the O-ring is sealing correctly?

The pump should prime quickly and operate quietly without visible air entering the basket. A consistent water level in the pump pot indicates a good seal.

Should I bring my old O-ring or pump lid for comparison?
