It sits between a part that moves and a part that does not, so the load passes through a cheap sacrificial piece instead of wearing a groove into something expensive. That makes it a wear part by design, and it is meant to be replaced.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhile the filter is apart\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePerflex filters do not get opened often, so it is worth doing the small parts together. The filter o-ring and the retainer clip are the usual companions to this washer, and replacing them at the same time saves opening the housing again in a season or two.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hayward","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48633992708308,"sku":"HAY-051-1823","price":10.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0801\/9568\/2516\/files\/default_e57d77e2-2cd2-4bfb-bf83-0350c2f4f1e3.jpg?v=1788823487","url":"https:\/\/www.activepoolsupply.com\/products\/thrust-washer","provider":"Active Pool Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
