Leakage after installation: Ensure the new ring is seated flat and the sealing surface is clean and undamaged.
-
Ring slips or deforms: Confirm that the correct ring size (8.5″) was used and that the groove is not worn or damaged.
-
Pressure spikes or abnormal operation: Check that the closure lid is properly tightened, the ring is not damaged, and the system has been bled of air.
Maintenance Tip
Inspect the sealing ring at each season’s opening. If the ring shows flattening, cracks or discoloration, replace it promptly. A proper seal helps maintain efficiency, prevents leaks, and prolongs the life of your filter system.
