Installation & Fit Notes
Before installing the new lid, shut off the pump and release pressure from the filter tank. Remove the existing lid, inspect the tank rim and O-ring for wear or residue, clean the surfaces, install the new lid, ensure O-ring is properly seated, and restore circulation. After startup, verify that there are no leaks around the lid and that the filter functions normally.
