    The gasket and o rings often have to be worked into place whether OEM or aftemarket and the Aladdin parts such as the Go kits are pretty good quality and widely used. The only part of the theirs that I am not crazy about are some of their skimmer baskets.

    It's not suppose to rain today so when I get home this evening I should be able to tell if there are any more leaks.

    The equipment pad is dry!

    The pump isn't leaking and the PVC repair (another thread) is holding.
