Replacement is quick and straightforward. ✅ Durability: The cover is made of UV- and chemical-resistant plastic, designed to last. ✅ Complete Kit: Everything needed for an effective repair in one piece. Save time and money compared to buying separate parts. Quick Installation Guide Safety: Disconnect the pump from the power supply. Close all shut-off valves if possible. Depressurization: Unscrew the bleed screw on top of the sand filter to release pressure. Removing the Old Filter: Carefully unscrew the old pre-filter cover (usually freehand or with a strap). Remove the old gasket. Cleaning: Thoroughly clean the gasket groove on the pre-filter body. Check that no debris is blocking the valve. Installing the New Filter: Place the new O-ring in its groove. Lightly lubricate it with a pool-safe (silicone) lubricant to facilitate sealing and prolong its life. Position the new cover (with its valve) and screw it on tightly by hand. Avoid overtightening. Test: Reconnect the pump, turn it on, and immediately check for air or water leaks at the seal. Package Contents: 1 x Pre-filter cover (with integrated valve), 1 x Sealing O-ring. Maintenance and Usage Tips: Seasonal Maintenance: Inspect and clean the O-ring each time the pump is opened or serviced. Replace it if it is cracked, flattened, or deformed. Lubrication: Lightly lubricate the seal with silicone after cleaning to ensure optimal sealing and facilitate future opening/closing. Tightening: Always tighten the cover by hand. Using pliers can deform the plastic or crush the seal irreversibly, causing leaks. Warning: A poor seal on the pre-filter is a common cause of pressure loss, air bubbles in the jets, or dry pump operation. Ensure this part is always in perfect condition.
