No, this kit is specifically designed for the Green Genie 6500 model.
It is recommended to perform this maintenance annually, ideally before the start of the pond season.
You will generally need a screwdriver for the lid screws and, in some cases, scissors to trim the foam filters.
Due to minor variations in production dates and materials, some foam sets may be slightly oversized to ensure a custom fit for all versions of the 6500 housing.
No, you must disconnect all power to the filter unit before opening the housing to avoid electrical shock and UV exposure.
Ensure the lid screws are tightened evenly and check that the seal is seated correctly in the groove.
Check that the lamp is firmly seated in the socket and the quartz sleeve O-ring is properly positioned to avoid moisture interference.
Trim the edges of the replacement foams slightly with a utility knife until they fit snugly against the filter walls without bunching.
This kit is strictly compatible with the Lotus Green Genie 6500 model. Always disconnect the power supply to the UV filter before attempting any maintenance. When replacing the quartz sleeve O-ring, ensure the seat is completely free of debris to maintain a watertight seal and protect the lamp electronics from water ingress. Store any unused components in a dry, cool environment away from direct sunlight. Regularly check the new hosetail washer once the system is reconnected to ensure no drips are present, and tighten the lid screws evenly in a cross-pattern to distribute pressure across the seal.
