Oooh, thanks! I noticed the o-ring looked really dry.I tried to remove it to inspect it, but I couldn't even budge it! Will recommend getting a new one and then scrape away the old one, and replace. Sound like a plan?

As an aside, it's funny. My own o-ring falls out every time I clean the basket. Pain in the patootie! Thank goodness I use skimmer socks!
