Sta-Rite System 2 and AquaTools Filters and Filter Systems

Published January 22, 2025 · Recall initiated: January 28, 2004

What's the hazard

The Posi-Lok™ locking ring, which secures the filter's upper tank shell to the lower tank shell (see diagram), can disengage from the lower tank shell, allowing the top shell of the filter to blow off, causing injury to nearby consumers.

What to do

Consumers should check the filter model plates to locate model numbers and serial numbers. Consumers should not disturb their filters and contact Sta-Rite toll-free at (866) 681-9148 to confirm the identity of their filter and receive a free replacement Posi-Lok™ locking ring and installation instructions. In addition, Sta-Rite will reimburse consumers $10 for each Posi-Lok™ locking ring that is shipped back to them and provide a pre-paid box for shipping. For consumers who are not comfortable with the replacement procedure, Sta-Rite will arrange to have the affected filters professionally repaired at no cost to the consumers.
