Key Benefits

How It Works

This O-ring fits snugly inside the groove of your Pentek filter housing, creating a watertight seal between the housing cap and body. As water flows through your filtration system, the O-ring prevents leaks by maintaining consistent compression and sealing out air or contaminants. Its flexible yet sturdy material adapts to pressure changes and ensures your water treatment system operates efficiently without interruptions.

What to Expect

Upon installation, you will immediately notice a secure fit with no drips or leaks around the filter housing connection. During the first few days, the O-ring settles into place, adapting to the housing’s shape for optimal sealing. Over time, this component remains resilient, requiring minimal maintenance, and helps your water softener or filtration system maintain consistent performance and reliability.
