Re: K 8 Tire
I recently changed professions and am now a pool and spa repair tech. In the course of my work I've found a pretty good replacement. the housing seal off a pentair challenger pump is really close. it's not as wide but two of them will fit in the groove side by side.
left K-6 platter with pump gaskets, right k-10 platter with stock tire
hope this helps someone.
Also while you're at the pool store, get a tube of aladdin magic lube for lubing the spindle and gears. works better than petroleum jelly.

That's awesome! I actually looked at something similar back when I had my K10 but never got around to emailing about the specifications on the size. I sort of miss the K10 but my 6N should make up for it once I get it up and running.

Re: K 8 Tire
correction, it's the housing seal off a Jandy FloPro pump, not a Challenger.

Re: K 8 Tire
correction again. my first post was correct. It is the seal from a pentair Challenger that works. It must be the OEM part and not the Aladdin go-kit part though. pentair p/n 355329
Re: K 8 Tire
