How It Works
The AM151254 O-Ring fits snugly within the groove of your Pentek filter housing, creating a tight seal that prevents water from leaking around the filter cartridge. This seal is essential to maintaining proper pressure and flow through your water treatment system, ensuring that all water passes through the filter media for effective filtration.
Its big clear square cut profile is designed to compress evenly under pressure, adapting to slight variations in housing dimensions and temperature changes. This flexibility helps maintain a consistent seal over time, reducing the risk of leaks and system failures.
What to Expect
Once installed, you’ll notice an immediate improvement in system integrity, with no leaks or drips around the filter housing. In the first days and weeks, the O-ring settles into place, providing a stable and reliable seal even under fluctuating water pressures.
Over the longer term, expect this O-ring to require minimal maintenance thanks to its durable material and design. Routine checks during system servicing will ensure it remains intact, helping you avoid unexpected downtime or water damage.
