How do Pentair OEM pool products compare to Non-OEM Pentair pool products?
Pentair OEM pool products meet exact Pentair specifications. As a result, they provide reliable fit and consistent performance. Additionally, materials and quality control meet Pentair standards for offering dependable and lasting products.
Non-OEM products cost less and material quality and manufacturing precision vary. Furthermore, these generic products may not always be compatible with Pentair. Additionally, the lifespan and performance may be reduced. Overall, OEM components deliver quality, while non-OEM products, deliver uncertainty.
Pro Tip: Pentair Multiport Valve Drain Plug and O-Ring U178-920PZ
- One of the best ways to detect a drain plug leak is to dry the area you are suspecting to have a leak. Then watch the pump while the system is running. The water leak may actually be migrating to the drain plug from somewhere else.
- When installing a new drain plug clean in the threaded hole and the area outside on the volute. Also, check to make sure the O-ring is correctly seated.
- We recommend to only hand tighten the plug this will help avoid cross-threading. Also, to protect the O-Ring applying a small amount of silicone O-Ring lubricant is recommended when installing.
