Don't Buy O Ring for Waterco Water King Tablet Feeder

vegas777 · May 15, 2014 1:56 pm

My Waterco Water King Chlorinator (Tablet Feeder) - the type that hold the tablets and adds the chlorine as the water flows through the body of the Chlorinator. I have had mine for several years and the O-Ring (125mm x 6 mm) that fits inside the lid was stretched and started to leak. Off to the Pool shop I went only to learn the part (number 64100) would cost $63!! A totally new Chlorinator would cost $130. This is without a doubt a total rip off.

I hunted on the internet and couldn't find and cheaper price.

I did some leg work and found a company SEAL IMPORTS 11 Iris Place Acacia Ridge Brisbane (07 37114004) has the exact same sized and superior quality O-Ring (higher properties) for $15.85. The part number is MR125X6 (125mm x 6 mm) N70 O Ring.

There are probably other companies that have the same part. I'm not advertising for Seal Imports - suggest phoning and using the reference numbers above..

I like the Waterco product - but when they have ridiculous prices such as this - they need to learn That they can't blindly rip people off. Good Luck

I'm impressed you have such indignation and determination over $50.

I tried to buy a new garage door remote at Mister Minit and they asked for $65. Got it delivered from eBay for $31. People try to make profit where they can, especially with store front overheads.

People should always be indignant when a business is price gouging beyond a reasonable profit margin; it's not the money, it's the principle.

thank you so much for the tip, I have ordered 5 rubber over a period of time just because of your tip. Saved me a lot of money. The 125x5 is a little too thick so I have now ordered 125x4 and 125x3 hoping one of them will fit.
