PENTAIR | Oring, union | 071426
The Pentair 071426 collar and rotor union O-ring is a highly specialized replacement part designed for Pentair pool/spa cartridge and D.E. (Diatomaceous Earth) filters.
This vital component, often underestimated in its importance, ensures a leak-free connection between your pool or spa's filtration system and its piping infrastructure.
The O-ring seals the union between the rotor and collar, preventing water from escaping and maintaining optimal operating pressure within the system.
Installing the Pentair 071426 is straightforward. First, the old O-ring is removed from the collar and rotor union. Lubrication is then applied to the new O-ring before installation, making the seal more effective and prolonging its lifespan.
The O-ring should be replaced whenever you notice leaks around the filter connections or see visible wear on the current O-ring.
Proper maintenance of this part, including periodic checks for wear and tear, is crucial to prolong your pool or spa filter's lifespan. Neglecting this could lead to costly repairs or even a complete filter replacement.
In conclusion, the Pentair 071426 collar and rotor union O-ring replacement is an essential part of your pool or spa maintenance kit, acting as a vital cog in preserving the efficiency and longevity of your filtration system.
