PENTAIR | O RING, FILTER TANK | 071442
The Pentair 71442 O-Ring Filter Tank Kit is essential in maintaining your pool or spa filtration system. A seal connects the tank to the filter system, ensuring a tight, waterproof fit. Over time, Pentair O-ring filter tank seals can degrade, compromising system efficiency and possibly leading to leaks.
Installation is a simple process; remove the old O-ring, clean the groove thoroughly, then place the new Pentair 71442 filter tank O-ring, ensuring it sits flush with no twists. Lubricate the O-ring before reinstalling the tank, which aids in creating a secure seal and prolongs the O-ring's lifespan.
Replacement frequency depends on usage and maintenance. As a good practice, inspect the O-ring whenever you service your filter. Signs of wear, such as cracks or flattening, indicate a need for replacement. Regular lubrication with a silicone-based lubricant extends the life of the O-ring, but eventually, it will need replacing.
Maintenance involves simple, regular inspections and occasionally applying a suitable lubricant. Using the Pentair 71442 O-ring Filter Tank Kit for maintenance promotes the longevity of your filter system, saving costs and time in the long run while ensuring peak performance.
