Hydrostatic Valve O-Ring Leaks

A worn O-ring in your hydrostatic valve can waste 50–100 gallons of water every day. In this follow-up, we show how chlorine exposure and storms can cause the O-ring to lose elasticity, allowing leaks and debris buildup. Regular inspections help prevent major water loss and costly repairs. With specialty tools and scuba repair, we can replace O-rings and valves safely, keeping your pool watertight and efficient.

 So today we're talking about the hydrostatic valve. In the first video, I installed the hydrostatic valve and showed you how when the water table rises, valve opens up and equalizes pressure within the pool. Today we're gonna go over the O-ring that seals the valve. When the water table lowers, the O-ring that's in the hydrostatic valve is rubber and it can lose its elasticity over time.

Due to chlor exposure, your hydrostatic valve with the deteriorated O-ring can lose up to 50 to a hundred gallons a day. This is why it's important to get your hydrostatic valve inspected With scuba repairs, we can dive down. We have a specialty tool to change them out. Another common problem is you wanna get yours inspected post storm because with all the rain it could raise the water table and debris could get caught inside and not allow it to latch and seal properly.
