Care and maintenance
Sacrificial anodes
Two anodes are attached to the bottom parts of the housing to prevent
galvanic corrosion due to electrolysis. As time goes by, and depending on use,
they will deteriorate and need replacement. Contact your dealer to order
replacement anodes (#19220).
O-rings
When replacing the main seal O-ring, place the entire O-ring over the O-ring
groove and start by pushing the O-ring in the corners. Work your way around
the O-ring making sure it is snugly sitting in the groove. Avoid going solely in
one direction as doing so will stretch the O-ring material and possibly prevent it
from properly seating.
When working your housing or port O-rings, please follow these instructions:
Never use a sharp instrument when removing an O-ring as this may
damage the sealing surface of the groove or the O-ring itself. A
dedicated O-ring tool, a dull pointed object or the edge of a credit card
usually works well.
Once removed, the O-ring should be inspected for damage. Carefully
check that it is free of nicks or cuts and that it retains its original round
profile. O-rings that appear to be damaged should be immediately
replaced with new ones.
