Pool / Small Pump Seal Guide

Engineered to fit. Built to last.

Material Option	What it is	Best for
Basic (Molded Carbon Face)	Molded-carbon face (upgrade over plastic/phenolic) for clean water and everyday use.	Home pools & spas with normal temperature and chlorine levels, clear water.
Molded Carbon (Viton Upgrade)	Same molded-carbon face with Viton elastomers for stronger chemical and heat resistance.	Everyday pools/spas, salt or higher-chlorine setups, warmer water.
Premium Carbon Face	Pure, resin-impregnated carbon machined from stock; high wear and chemical breakdown resistance.	Saltwater pools where chlorine is generated through electrolysis, commercial pools, heavy-use systems.
Premium Viton	Viton rubber components for elevated chemical and temperature resistance.	High-chlorine pools/spas, hot water applications.
Silicon/Silicon/Viton (SIC/SIC/Viton)	Silicon carbide faces + Viton for maximum abrasion resistance and long service life.	Abrasive water conditions: sandy wells, dusty outdoor pools, high particulate.
