When this seal hardens or cracks after years of UV and pressure exposure, water seeps around the cover. This OEM replacement fits Ultima II filters with 2\" valve assemblies, typically the largest models in the range (15,000 gal and up), and restores a complete seal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eValue\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eValve Size\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2\" (2 inch)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLocation\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eValve cover top seal\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePremium nitrile rubber, UV and chemical resistant\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUltima II filters with 2\" valve assemblies (15,000 gal and up)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDiagnosis\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWater collecting around the valve cover after backwash or during normal circulation points to a failing cover O-ring.
