We've tried rescrewing it in, being careful to catch the threads. Still pops off. We've tried teflon tape around the threads. No luck. We can't run the pump and filter until we can get it to hold. In the meantime, we're "dead in the water," so to speak. Any suggestions?
CHECK TO SEE IF THE RECEIVER HOUSING HAS A CRACK ALONG THE THREADS IF NOT TRY MORE WRAPS OF TEFLON TAPE

I'm assuming you mean whe you thread the strainer basket pot into the pump and tighten it it ends up being 90 degrees off center? That means you cannot turn it and additional 270 degree. Unthread and wrap multiplul wraps of teflon tape onto threads. Then I'd add lightly add some pipe dope. Tighten the assembly up, but stop when it is snug and aligned. The combination tape and dope should keep it from leaking, but remember this would be a suction leak, so check carefully
