RE-INSTALLATION

ensuring that the lid o-ring does not become twisted.
13 Hydropool recommends that the lid o-ring be lubricated
with a non-petroleum based lubricant (i.e. Silicone gel)
when it becomes dry. This will help to prevent twisng
and pinching as the lid is installed, and significantly
increase longevity of the o-ring.

tab snaps into place.
15 Close the air vent/bleeder valve.

steady stream of water, close the vent valve, ensuring
that the o-ring does not become pinched.
