Hi Doug, This would be the correct replacement valve for your filter. We do have a good Video on How to Replace the Sand in Your Pool Filter which should be of help to you.

Does the valve assembly come with the gasket / o-ring to mount to tank?
Reply
No it does not come with the o-ring that goes between the valve and the tank. This o-ring is actually considered part of the filter so could you let us know the make and model of your filter?

Had to remove old valve and when we replaced sand before installing new one, we did not notice a little sand got itself under the stand pipe and could not get the valve to seal. Got a shower or two until the right person told us to check the height of the pipe and lo and behold, that was our sealing problem. Now all is well.

Pros: company still had parts to fit our old model

product is great, fits great, our filter is a 1995 model and this part that is made for the newer models fits and works great.

easy to use, however, this only lasted us about 4 years and we are now having to replace it. This is partly due to our own fault, it has been out in the elements and not in a true "pump house" We will be building a shelter around the new one.

The valve didn't quite fit and I had to use a bunch of silicone to make a good seal that didn't leak. After that it has worked fine for the summer.

(5 out of 5 stars) Great valve assembly for a sand filter
Reviewed By: Tammy K. from North Carolina ()
Pros: none
Cons: easy to use
I went with the same valve assembly when ordering a new one because the one I had lasted about 10 years, which I thought was great timing. Hoping to get a long extended life time on this new valve assembly and the price was reasonably.
