Installation & Compatibility Notes
Prior to installation, shut off the pool pump and relieve system pressure. Drain down or empty the suction side as needed. Remove the existing gaskets and clean the seating surfaces thoroughly of debris, plaster, or residue. Install the new gaskets from the kit ensuring flat seating and no twists. Re-install the drain/cover assembly, restore circulation, and check for proper sealing—no air draw or visible leaks.
Maintenance Tips
- Inspect these gaskets annually (especially after winterizing or heavy use) for cracks, flattening or chemical breakdown.
- If you observe bubbling at the skimmer or main drain, or the pool loses prime unexpectedly, the gasket seal may be worn and this kit is often the quick fix.
- Keep replacement gasket sets in your service vehicle or stock inventory to reduce response time on field service calls.
