Air in the system

[moriskod]

Check that o-ring on the pump basket and make sure it is intact. I have used silicone grease on mine in the past to eliminate air getting into the system. Just take out the o-ring and lightly coat it with a good quality silicone grease and be sure to get the basket cover back on snuggly. Those o-rings develop small cracks as they age and the grease will often times be enough to forego replacement of the ring. This has worked for me for several years. Also you can use the grease on your basket and pump drain plug o-rings and threads to make a more effective seal as well. Good luck!

Thanks to all of your replies. I will check (hopefully tomorrow) and report back!
