dccranch Posted August 27, 2012 Report Posted August 27, 2012 I just purchased a 2002 HS Jetsetter. It's in great working condition but was filthy and covered in stain/scale. We got it cleaned up but in the process had to take most of the components apart. My question is..............two of the standpipes for the filters were siliconed in place but the third was not. I don't understand why the screw in stand pipe (not the fitting) would need the silicone sealant. Any ideas? Do I need to reapply sealant? And why wouldn't the third one need it? Thanks!

Hot Spring Ace Posted August 27, 2012 Report Posted August 27, 2012 The circ pump standpipe needs to be removable, the others don't. However, the others really don't need to be siliconed in place either so you're fine just threading them all in place without any silicone. Quote
dccranch Posted August 28, 2012 Author Report Posted August 28, 2012 thanks so much. I read over the WHOLE manual again and found one sentence buried in the "winterizing" section that said something about the pipes being "temporarily" siliconed in place from the factory. Quote
Chas Posted September 5, 2012 Report Posted September 5, 2012 Mainly so the filters don't vibrate loose during shipping/handling. Quote
