Hi,
I've been trying to fix a leak where the pump connects to the leaf basket for over a week and I'm at a loss. We've replaced the o-ring, lubed it up, taken it apart and put it back together at least 8 times-tried having 2 people hold it together while a 3rd tightens it-and still a leak! I feel like we must be missing something, but I have no idea what. Any ideas appreciated. Here's a pic of the connection I'm talking about-the metal ring top right:
