Universal Filtration 26" Filter Disc Cover w/Zipper (FDC-26-Z)

The Universal Filtration 26" Filter Disc Cover w/Zipper (manufacturer part FDC-26-Z) is a purpose-selected replacement or equipment component for compatible pool, spa or aquatic installations. Its specific construction and application help technicians and owners maintain the intended equipment arrangement instead of making an uncertain substitution based only on appearance. When planning a repair, identifying the exact installed assembly is as important as identifying the replacement part itself.

Protecting the filtration assembly

A properly fitting filtration cover is part of routine equipment upkeep. Covers can protect a designated disc or filtration element and can make an existing assembly more practical to handle and maintain. The zipper arrangement should be evaluated for ease of access, installation clearance and secure closure rather than assuming any similarly sized cover will fit.

Installation, Compatibility & Care

Measure the actual filter disc and inspect how the existing cover wraps around its edge or support. A replacement cover should not block intended flow or interfere with moving parts. Clean and inspect the disc and related components during replacement, following the filtration system’s cleaning instructions and confirming the covering material is suitable for the installation.

A correct replacement also protects the time invested in diagnosing and servicing the surrounding equipment. The best results come from comparing the old part with its service diagram, planning required accessories before disassembly, and checking the restored system under normal operating conditions. Where the equipment is part of a pressurized, submerged or electrically powered installation, follow the manufacturer’s shutdown, isolation and recommissioning procedures; a physically fitting component is not automatically approved for every application.

Practical Features & Service Considerations

• Fit around the disc: match the full assembly profile rather than diameter alone.
• Zipper access: allow enough clearance for opening and closing during maintenance.
• Maintenance planning: inspect the disc beneath the cover for wear or debris.
• Compatibility: confirm the supporting filter design and original cover reference.
• Material care: use cleaning procedures appropriate for the original filtration equipment.
• Ordering scope: this is a cover accessory, not the complete disc or filter system.

Before ordering: Compare the original equipment label and service diagram with FDC-26-Z. Verify any accessories or consumable hardware needed for the job; this product should not be mistaken for an entire system unless the listing expressly identifies a complete system.
