I have a Hayward pro series sand filter model no s244s with a six position valve. The valve needs to be replaced or repaired . The label on the valve with the model # have wore off, not sure if this is the correct valve. Please advise

Hi James, You will need to take a look to see if the plumbing going into the valve is 1-1/2" or 2" there should be some digital writing on the white pvc pipe indicating your pipe size. The replacement valve for 1-1/2" pvc is part number SP0710X62. The valve for 2" pvc is SP0715X62.

I have a triton tr60 sand filter with a hayward vari flow valve model 710. It seems to wear out prematurely the spider gasket and is hard to turn. I was thinking I should replace this assembly. Maybe the coil spring and other parts are worn to help facilitate this problem. Am I thinking right or do I not know how to put a simple looking gasket in correctly? PS We bought house in 1992 and it was here then..Also if needed , do I have the correct one in this diagram?

A  Answered on 6/11/2015 by InyoPools Product Specialist Patrick P.

Hi Greg, I think you are on the exact path here with replacing the handle assembly. This would give you the complete new top half of the valve. You may want to also purchase the Hayward 710 Cover O-ring shown as Key #6 in the 710 Valve Parts Diagram as this o-ring is not included in the cover assembly. Based on the information you provided this would be the correct cover assembly for your valve.

?     Asked on 6/6/2017by Beth

How do I replace this? I broke the handle - SP-710X-F off the filter. Do I simply unscrew the 6 screws, take out the old, pop in the new and screw it back up? Seems too easy. Is there more to it? And do I need to also purchase the O ring? Because I have no idea what that's all about. My local pool store wants to replace the whole top piece of the filter including the pvc pipe outlets. Part cost alone is $120. Seems a lot for a broken off handle.
 Reply

A  Answered on 7/31/2017 by InyoPools Product Specialist Alex V.

Beth, To replace it, you would turn off the pump, release the pressure in the tank then unscrew the 6 screws and bolts that hold the key assembly in place. Once you have removed the old one, you will want to inspect the spider gasket and replace if it necessary. Installation would require lining up the tab (one screw hole has a flat side on the cover assy) then installing and tightening the screws and bolts.
