The filter that I used it on is that one.
If you do not know the part number for your o ring, go to the GE website. So you could cross reference an o ring from perhaps a company like Maxwater based on the specs (size). My favourite place to get mine is www.com. There is an O ring that is Viton grade, which will probably last longer.
As far as I know, I haven't changed out the ring with every filter change, but I do make sure that the rim is clean and that I don't tighten the ring too hard. After at least four changes, I've had no problems.
Du Pont can provide you with more information. The supplier of O rings should be a well-known company. I would suggest that they match your components if they can. Good

Let's start with the pros I am composing an o- A seal ring is required when you are changing the filter in Big Blue Housing. ability for the rubber ring to flatten and seal the Big Blue Filter when it flattens is a good thing. The second is Since the shipping container now used requires O-rings to be installed, this has become a problem over the last couple of years This doubles up the ring, resulting in an O-ring The last few years, we have laid heavy books on the department to deal with this issue We placed the ring on the Big Blue Housing for several weeks after heating it in the sun for a couple of days in order to eliminate kinks and allow it to lie flat. The packaging we use in this example impacts the quality of the product in a positive manner. We have ordered it because it would reduce packaging costs. I have worn the ring over a decade, and the last two plus years I have worn the ring twice each Let's ring in the new reduced-price year Due to the size of the packaging, the annoying problems are discussed Attached is a photo of the product. Hopefully next year we'll be able to find a better source for this one Stack the rings.
Having called Pentair customer service, they assured me that this item (Part # 151122) was the correct one for my system. There is an ring attached to My attempt to pop the O-ring failed The ring was frozen into shape for a few minutes to try to reduce the size difference, but it was no use. There is either something wrong with these rings or they don't fit Changes have been made to the spec or diameter of the ring seating on the top of the housing. It is confirmed that the housing has not been altered by the Pentek service rep. Considering everything I have read so far, I came to the conclusion that Obviously, the ring is the wrong size. I'll get another one and see if that works To find out if I can fit the ring properly, I need to contact the vendor.
It's 3 times on the website! 0 is the zero As the ring was in a smaller pager than required, the operating system could not recognize it In order to double, the ring must be doubled. In what number of months (years will this take? It has storage capacity of about ) of space. The product appears to be a pretzel when it is opened. I had to use a hair dryer to attach the filter housing (after attempting it twice and having to empty it each time) after using a hair dryer to fit the filter housing to the o-ring. To lay flat, the ring. In light of the number of negative reviews I see, I'm not sure how much Pentek saves by using a smaller package. However, I am inclined to believe it may not be worth it. Pentek is not a brand I would buy from.
It has been said that this essay is a work of fiction I was a bit worried that the new ring would be a bit thicker than the original, but I managed. In addition, it is around 1/8 of an inch thick A diameter that is 1/8" larger While plenty of lube was necessary to hold it in the groove, it was still barely manageable. Worse still, the office is not available There was a double ring - Wrapped up and twisted into a mess- Bags smaller than a briefcase. The part would not sit in the groove properly, regardless of how much lube was applied, and therefore, it would leak. It was a lud up version of the original A new ring was installed, and no leaks occurred. I decided to replace it with another In contrast to last year's ring, which arrived in a larger bag and was undamaged, this year's ring did not arrive in a smaller bag. You should find another vendor because this one is not right It is only a headache that comes from ringing.
There is no way it will spring back into shape, and instead it will look like Considering the design of the filter, alignment of a misaligned element should be avoided as much as possible The ring should be properly shaped. It was fortunate that I had a canister that exactly fit the size the ring was supposed to be, so I could stretch it gently to more of an O shape. If I had used the old rings again, I would have had to buy new ones. I think we should spend five cents more on decent packaging and maybe this would be a product we'll actually use.
The last one I purchased from Amazon came packaged in a sealed package with a label that stated it was for pentek. This one came in a folded over package, so it is There was dirt on the package and part of it had been cut Obviously, there is no label on it so I won't be able to verify the size, and returning it would cost me more time than I spent on it. I will store it in a ziplock baggie and hope it will fit next time I replace the filter. The quality of the product on Amazon is very poor and I won't buy from them again.
The shape is slightly twisted and the size is It is useless. Buying is not a good idea. In like manner, other reviewers have already mentioned that these rings come in a double package. As soon as you unloop them, they will be twisted and will not lay flat on the channel of the housing. In addition, they are a little too large (long) for the channel in the Big Blue filter housing, and no amount of persuasion will get them to lay flat in the channel long enough to apply some silicone grease and install them. These were thrown in the garbage after I spent the money and I am being cheated. It fits perfectly too, as I had an OEM replacement ring that came with my Big Blue. It is thicker and slightly thinner than these. Having now experienced the stupidity and uselessness of these parts that they marked as the official part next time I need a replacement, I don't know what I'll do next time. My supplier won't be able to provide what I need.
A double loop of the ring is included in the shipping package. It does not lie flat when the package is opened. I used the old ring after 15 minutes of fiddling with the metal in the basement. There is no way to make use of this. These are the same ones I've bought for over a decade and they've worked perfectly every time. Pentek is packaging them in such a way that they are literally garbage - completely useless.
