Before a freeze that is not optional: water left in a pump housing expands as it freezes and cracks the plastic, which turns a five dollar part into a new wet end. It comes out again any time the pump is opened for service.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDo the seal at the same time\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlugs are usually replaced because the old one is cross threaded, stripped in the slot or weeping. The seal at the plug is a separate Waterway o-ring, so pick one up with the plug rather than reusing a seal that has been compressed for several seasons.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Waterway","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48627381108948,"sku":"WWP-101-1201","price":4.78,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0801\/9568\/2516\/files\/default_e420d17a-a2ef-46ad-9071-870adf271867.jpg?v=1788722926","url":"https:\/\/www.activepoolsupply.com\/products\/3-8-drain-plug-black","provider":"Active Pool Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
