Quick overview
- Genuine Caretaker The OEM kit, part number 5-13-1, rather than generic o-rings sized by eye.
- Sold as a kit The seals come together, so a service visit does not stall on one missing size.
- For Caretaker systems Listed as the OEM replacement o-ring kit for Caretaker.
- Seals are the usual leak Most weeping and pressure loss at a valve traces back to a flattened or nicked o-ring.
- Service item Worth replacing whenever the assembly is opened rather than reusing old rings.
- Lubricate on assembly Use a pool rated silicone o-ring lubricant, never a petroleum grease, which swells the rubber.

Product details
This is the genuine Polaris Caretaker o-ring kit, part number 5-13-1, the OEM replacement seals for Caretaker systems.
Why buy the kit
O-rings are the cheapest part of any valve assembly and the most common reason one weeps or loses pressure. Buying them as the factory kit means the sizes are right and the job is not held up hunting a single ring that turned out to be a hair off.
Fitting
Replace the seals whenever the assembly is opened rather than reusing rings that have taken a set. Lubricate them with a pool rated silicone o-ring lubricant on assembly. Petroleum based grease swells the rubber and will cost you the kit again in a season.
