Product details
This is the bottom manifold gasket for Pentair Quantum cartridge filters, supplied by Val-Pak as part number V38-221. It replaces original part 570003.
What it seals
The bottom manifold is what the cartridges seat into at the base of the tank. The gasket between that manifold and its mating face is what forces water through the elements rather than around them, so a flattened, nicked or hardened gasket sends dirty water back to the pool while the pressure gauge still reads normal.
When to change it
Replace it whenever the manifold comes out for a cleaning or a cartridge change, and always if the old gasket is cracked or has taken a permanent set. A gasket costs very little next to the time spent chasing a filter that will not clear the water.
Confirm you have a Quantum filter and that the piece you removed matches, since Pentair cartridge filters use different manifold seals across their families.
