Installation & Maintenance Tips
Before installing, ensure the valve cover and sealing surfaces are clean and free from debris or old gasket residue. Lightly lubricate the new O-ring with a pool-safe silicone lubricant to help ensure a proper seal. Seat the O-ring evenly in the cover groove, then re-assemble the valve cover and tighten securely. Check periodically for leaks — especially after remounting or winter draining — and replace the O-ring if it becomes cracked, stretched, or deformed to maintain a watertight seal.
