What is this filter called?

[AZAA]

I can’t get this filter to hold a prime so my pump won’t start. I know it needs a new O-ring but I don’t know the manufacturer or model # as it’s been painted over by a previous owner. All other equipment is Pentair. It is an inch or so larger than the Pentair pump O-ring. It would help my search if knew what to call the thing. Thanks

Yup - looks like an A&A Leafvac. You can take the lid and o-ring to most any local pool store and get a new o-ring.
Is there any writing on the black lid ring?

Be sure to thoroughly clean the canister mating surface as well as the lid mating surface. Use pool lube on the o-ring. And don't overtighten the lid as it could break the locking tabs on the canister.

So sorry for the late reply. Yes, 1poolman1 had the correct answer for me. Thanks for the confirmation.
