Compatibility / Fitment Notes
Aladdin O-218 is documented for several related pool-equipment applications, so verify the existing equipment model or OEM part number rather than ordering by diameter alone.
Supported cross-references include Pentair / Sta-Rite U9-229 and American Products / Pentair 39204100. Aladdin also uses O-218 as the lid O-ring in Dura-Glas and Max-E-Glas P2RA/P2R pump repair kits.
Installation / Use Notes
Shut the pool pump off before opening or servicing the pump lid. Remove the old O-ring and inspect the sealing groove and mating surfaces for debris or damage. Install the replacement O-ring evenly without twisting or stretching it unnecessarily.
Use only a lubricant appropriate for pool O-rings and follow the equipment manufacturer’s service recommendations. Do not use petroleum-based lubricants unless specifically approved for the seal material.
