Poolrite SQ / SQI / PM Pump Lid O-Ring (22236)

Poolrite SQ / SQI / PM Pump Lid O-Ring – Genuine (22236)

Replace the pump lid O-ring on your Poolrite SQ, SQI, or PM series pool pump with this genuine replacement. The pump lid O-ring (also called a lid gasket) seals the pump pot lid to the pump body, preventing air ingress and water leaks. A worn or damaged O-ring causes the pump to lose prime, draw air, and lose suction pressure. Manufactured from chemical-resistant, UV-stabilised materials for long service life in Australian conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my pump lid O-ring needs replacing?

Replace the O-ring if you notice air bubbles in the pump pot, the pump losing prime, water leaking around the lid, or if the O-ring is visibly cracked, flattened, or deformed when the lid is removed.

Should I lubricate the O-ring?

Yes — always lubricate the pump lid O-ring with a small amount of silicone grease or Vaseline before fitting. This makes the lid easier to seat and remove, and extends the life of the O-ring.

Is this a genuine Poolrite part?

Yes — 22236 is a genuine OEM Poolrite replacement O-ring, not an aftermarket substitute. Genuine parts ensure correct sizing and a reliable seal.

Will this fit my Poolrite pump?

This O-ring (210mm diameter, 3mm thick) suits all Poolrite SQI and PM pump models, and also the Noria ECO pump. If you are unsure, measure your existing O-ring or check your pump’s parts diagram (Item #19) before ordering.
