RC9 – MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE 

 

You new product incorporates moving parts and withstands high velocity water with chemicals in it.   Some of these 
parts will wear in the normal course of use and require regular checks and maintenance.    Performing these checks and 
maintenance will identify parts that have worn and require repair/replacement before further serious damage is 
sustained.   A small amount of regular care and attention to your pool equipment will help ensure long life and trouble 
free performance.
