This critical pressure barrier enables the large-format filtration vessel to safely contain its high-volume circulation streams and sustain continuous internal system operating pressures up to 50 PSI without weeping, leaking, or experiencing dynamic seal blowout under heavy pump startup surges. Built to endure decades of demanding outdoor equipment pad weathering, shifting seasonal temperature expansion stresses, and constant dynamic pressure cycling, its durable elastomeric matrix completely resists material hardening, stretching, flattening, and advanced chemical degradation from prolonged contact with concentrated sanitizers like chlorine, bromine, or harsh winterizing acid washes. \u003cspan class=\"citation-234\"\u003eDue to its large circular footprint and heavy-gauge thickness, this replacement tank body O-ring carries a net product and shipping weight of approximately \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"0\" data-index-in-node=\"1926\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"citation-234\"\u003e0.50 to 0.55 pounds\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan class=\"citation-234 citation-end-234\"\u003e (about 8.0 to 8.8 ounces).\u003csup class=\"superscript\" data-turn-source-index=\"3\"\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c\/sup\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Commercial Pool and Spa Supplies","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53416373682287,"sku":"195008","price":33.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0678\/3785\/3807\/files\/PAC-051-0323_medium_f3c3549a-416b-4847-880b-50bf6c3192de.jpg?v=1782748501","url":"https:\/\/commercialpoolandspasupplies.com\/products\/pentair-18-tank-o-ring","provider":"Commercial Pool and Spa Supplies ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
