5. Instrucciones de funcionamiento

The Astralpool Drain Plug Kit functions as a seal for a drain port. Its operation is straightforward:

6. Mantenimiento

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and proper function of your drain plug kit:

• Inspección periódica: Annually, or at the start/end of the pool season, inspect the O-rings for signs of wear, cracking, or flattening. Replace O-rings if they appear damaged to prevent leaks.
• Limpieza: If the drain plug assembly includes a filter screen, periodically remove and clean it to ensure proper water flow and prevent blockages. Rinse with fresh water.
• Lubricación: Apply a thin layer of silicone-based lubricant (specifically designed for pool O-rings) to the O-rings during reassembly to maintain their flexibility and sealing capability. Do not use petroleum-based lubricants.
• Almacenamiento: If removing the drain plug for winterization, store it in a clean, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
