When pump lids, light lenses, or strainer housings begin leaking, the cause is almost always a worn or flattened O-ring. The Aladdin O-318-0 Multi-Use O-Ring is a precision replacement seal engineered to restore a secure, leak-free connection across a wide range of pool pump, strainer, and lighting applications.

Designed to replace multiple OEM part numbers—including Pentair® 355332, 352600, and 350013—this O-ring delivers OEM-equivalent fit, compression, and durability. It is commonly used as a pump lid O-ring, light lens seal, and pot flange O-ring in residential and commercial pool systems.

At Benchmark Pool Supply, the O-318-0 is one of the most frequently used service O-rings due to its broad compatibility. Exposure to chlorine, heat, and pressure cycling causes older seals to harden or lose elasticity. Replacing the seal with the Aladdin O-318-0 helps prevent air leaks, water seepage, and loss of pump prime.

Manufactured from pool-grade elastomer, this O-ring is designed to withstand harsh pool environments while maintaining consistent sealing performance.


Designed for Pump Lids, Light Lenses & Strainers

The Aladdin O-318-0 O-Ring is engineered for multi-application use where reliable sealing is critical. It is commonly installed in both modern and legacy pump designs, including post-1998 and older Challenger® configurations.

Typical applications include:

  • Light lens sealing O-rings

  • WhisperFlo® AQ / WFE pump lid O-rings

  • Challenger® pump lids (after 11/1998)

  • Old-style Challenger® & Pinnacle™ 700 pump lids

  • EQ Series® commercial strainer pot flange O-rings

  • 6" trap basket lid & nut assemblies

  • Champion / Power Defender 1.65HP VS & SMF pumps (2014 style)

Using the correct O-ring profile ensures even compression, preventing leaks and premature wear on pump lids and housings.


Why Replacing Pump Lid O-Rings Matters

Pump lid and strainer O-rings are under constant stress from suction, pressure changes, and chemical exposure. When these seals fail, common issues include:

  • Air entering the pump causing loss of prime

  • Water leaking around pump lids or strainers

  • Reduced circulation and filtration efficiency

  • Increased strain on pump motors

Replacing worn seals with the Aladdin O-318-0 O-Ring is a simple maintenance step that protects your pump and extends equipment life.


Built for Long-Term Pool Performance

This O-ring is manufactured specifically for swimming pool applications and maintains elasticity under continuous operation. It is ideal for both service technicians and DIY pool owners who want dependable, OEM-quality sealing performance.

Recommended for:

  • Routine pump maintenance

  • Light and strainer resealing

  • Professional pool service repairs

  • Preventive seasonal servicing
