Pool Pilot Rubber Washers Cracking

[smallpooldad]

The washers that go closest to the 1 1/2" PVC pipeing which are made of rubber are cracked after only 2 1/2 months of use and while the have not yet failed I am fearful that they will do so soon.

These washers are the ones that lead from the acid, I fear acid might drip down the pipe onto the motor, and the one below it that does the sampling.

As the UV index is so high here in Honolulu this is most probably the cause. Do any of you marine types know what type or where on the internet I might purchase rubber or replacement washers that are more resistant to UV rays and acid, some such animal must exist.

I would ask Pool Pilot to replace them but that seems a fools errand as I will get the same type again.

I would ask Pool Pilot via this thread to upgrade their washers to a better and stronger type on their future production line but realistically I cannot hope that this will happen overnight so I need to solve my problem now.

But as stated below in the previous thread I love my Pool Pilot Digital and my BMW, but even that car could stand some improvements.

Any help would be appreciated.
