While there's no hard-and-fast rule, regular inspection for wear and damage is recommended. Replacements should be made when signs of wear are visible or if there are issues with the pool filtration system that can be traced back to the O-ring.
Installation is usually straightforward. Turn off your pool equipment, remove the old O-ring carefully, and replace it with the new ECX9611246 O-ring, ensuring correct alignment. However, it's advised to refer to your equipment's manual or seek professional help if unsure.
