Re: Pool Pilot Rubber Washers Cracking
Hello SmallPoolDad,
I appreciate your comments. The recommended acid mixture for the acid tank is 4 parts water to 1 part muriatic acid.
The fact is that these parts, including the washer, are from a Rainbow/Pentair Tablet Feeder. Trichlor tablets are typically about a 2 - 3 pH level, which is much lower than the 4 to 1 mixture we recommend.
Having said that, I'm not sure why your washer would exhibit cracking at this point.
I recommend contacting our main office for replacements.
These same washers are used all over the world, in different conditions, and while Hawaii may have it's unique conditions, there are similar conditions that these components are, and have been operating at, successfully.
If we saw consistent problems with these washers, we would certainly upgrade them to something more reliable...if that were the case. Fortunately, we have not had problems with the Rainbow/Pentair washers.
