Tech Tips
✅ Always Replace When Opening Pump: Even if it looks intact, a worn diffuser O-ring can cause performance loss.
⚠️ Use Proper Lubrication: Apply silicone-based pool lube only; avoid petroleum grease.
✅ Inspect Mating Surfaces: Clean and check diffuser and seal plate for cracks or warping before reassembly.
❌ Do Not Over-Compress: Over-tightening bolts can distort the O-ring and lead to leaks.
