🏊 Product Overview & History

The Hayward HCF Series filters are trusted in commercial aquatic facilities for their rugged reliability. Over time, O-rings can degrade due to chlorine exposure, pressure cycling, and general wear, leading to slow leaks or complete failure. The HCXFWDPOR012A is the official replacement O-ring for the media drain cap, restoring proper sealing and helping avoid water waste, corrosion, or unplanned downtime.

This small but critical part ensures your media drain assembly maintains pressure integrity and prevents leaks at the base of your filter tank.

⚡ Electrical & Safety Considerations

• No electrical components are included in or affected by this O-ring.

• However, always power off filtration systems before performing maintenance.

• Ensure all system pressure is released via the air relief valve before removing the drain cap.

• Follow proper LOTO (Lockout/Tagout) procedures in commercial installations.

🛠️ Installation Tips & Tricks

• Release pressure from the system and drain water below the filter drain level.

• Remove the existing drain cap and inspect the old O-ring for cracks or compression damage.

• Clean the sealing surface on the cap and filter body before installing the new O-ring.

• Apply a thin layer of pool-safe silicone lubricant to the new O-ring to ensure a secure, non-binding seal.

• Reinstall the drain cap hand-tight; avoid using tools that could over-tighten and damage the assembly.

• Pressurize the system and check for leaks at the drain port to verify a successful seal.
