Expert Comparison & Pro Tips
Aftermarket trim rings may not match Pentair’s exact curvature or mounting configuration, which can cause improper seating in the niche. A genuine Pentair stainless steel assembly ensures secure fit and long-term corrosion resistance. In field installations, using OEM components helps prevent future loosening or alignment issues.
Pro Tip: Whenever replacing a face ring, inspect the light gasket and niche for wear. It’s often smart to replace the gasket at the same time to maintain a watertight seal.

After researching our pool filter options, we decided to buy the Aquastar PLF35000 that our local pool guy recommended. I reached out before ordering to confirm pricing and availability. Clinton responded promptly (on a weekend) and followed up with sending an invoice that made ordering easier with just one click. Filter arrived as scheduled. From inquiry to install, all was complete within a week! Thanks for the help Clinton.
