Sorry I didn't see your reply at first. (wish there was some kind of notification about new posts on a posted topic.)
No, you didn't misread that. The o-ring on my Hayward Northstar pumps stay out upon installation.
I'm talking about the large REDDISH o-ring that's a pain to put on. He (the Hayward rep) told me that it's not necessary for the enduser, and I believe him, because there's a fixed black gasket on the pump window deck that forms an excellent seal while the pump is running. (Just TRY to take off the windowed cover while the pump is running if you don't believe it....lol)
We may be comparing apples to oranges though, because the only experience I have is with the Hayward northstar pumps.
