As with any rubber hose below waterline, the PSS bellows must be inspected on a regular basis for any sign of wear, aging or chemical deterioration. PYI suggests preventative maintenance. The PSS bellow should be replaced in six year intervals. During bellows replacement it is recommended the o-rings & set screws in the stainless steel rotor also be replaced. Bellows may need to be more frequently inspected in an environment where non-sealed batteries emit sulfuric acid. Sulfuric acid vapor will accelerate rubber deterioration, as will an ozonater. Available for shafts from 3/4" to 3-3/4".
Includes (1) Bellow, (2) o-rings, (5) Set screws, (4) Hose clamps, (1) Tube of thread lock, (1) Allen key
