It is one of the few parts that carries over almost unchanged across generations of Baracuda cleaners.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat it does\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe ring belongs to the disc assembly at the base of the cleaner, the part that seals against the pool floor and lets the cleaner walk. It clamps that stack together. A ring that has cracked or gone out of shape lets the assembly move around, and the cleaner starts skating over the floor instead of gripping it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhen to change it\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMost owners meet this part during a diaphragm or disc replacement. Since the cleaner is already apart at that point, it is worth looking at the compression ring closely rather than putting a tired one back in behind new rubber.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Zodiac","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48635036336340,"sku":"BAR-201-1058","price":16.67,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0801\/9568\/2516\/files\/default_8a733231-56e4-4906-b7ad-80e7580e2014.jpg?v=1788840138","url":"https:\/\/www.activepoolsupply.com\/products\/compression-ring-1","provider":"Active Pool Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
