    Default Suction Leak Causes Pump to Lose Prime

    I have a Hayward Super Pump which is losing prime. I have replaced and lubed the lid o-ring without success. The pump runs fine with the valve in the recirculate position but cannot keep prime when switched to the filter position. Any thoughts?
