Installation & Compatibility Notes
Before installation, turn off the pump and relieve system pressure. Remove the existing head assembly from the filter tank, clean the mounting surfaces and drain port threads. Install the new CX1200B head, ensuring O-rings are properly seated and the vent valve is functioning. Reassemble the filter, restore circulation, and check for any leaks around the head, drain port or vent valve.
Maintenance Tips
- Inspect the head annually—look for cracks, worn threads or leaking around the vent valve.
- If you notice slow drainage at the head, air trapped in the system, or visible damage, replacing the head with CX1200B restores functionality.
- Keep this part in your inventory for quick service calls and replacement stock to minimize downtime.
