Answer 1

Put the lid back on the filter tank and secure the lid. Make sure the large O-ring is in place and is in good working shape. About once per month, or whenever needed, put an O-ring lubricant on the O-ring. This will create a tight seal, eliminating any air from entering the filter. This will also extend the life of your O-ring. If the O-ring is torn or frayed, or in any way unusable, then purchase a new O-ring from your local pool professionals.

Answer 2

If it's a Hayward, and has a big black clamp around it, do these few steps.

1  Remove the nut and compression spring.

2  Carefully seperate the top again.

3  Wipe down both surfaces, and the gasket.

4  Re-grease the rubber gasket with the proper clear lube or

    Vaseline.

5  Also put a thick layer of grease on the base and lid/

6  Put together making sure the gasket stays in place.

7  Put on the ring, squeeze the open end, put the spring and

    nut back on and fully tighten.

Answer 4

Try using tar.. its a lil messier but its 100% more effective and will keep water out like a charm.. if that dont help ur better off buying urself a NEW one.. thats the only downside to something u cant fix.. if u have any other questions ask by email... good luck!

Answer 5

Try and get new o-ring gasket. If not pull gasket from lid, clean gasket apply Vaseline to o-ring and reapply if still leaks get some Teflon tape and remove lid leave gasket on lid take Teflon tape and apply over o-ring and reinstall. If you have two o-rings install both of them. Worst case purchase new o-ring gasket. Good Luck.  Big Dogg is on the money also check lid for damage.
