My handle broke of when I tried to move it. Is this the part that I need to put the handle back on?

Hi, If you have the SP0714T Valve and the handle is in good condition but the part that the handle is connect to is broken then yes. If the handle is broken then you will need to replace the Handle-SPX0710XF.

How I know that the gasket is not OK and a replacement is needed?

Hi, Jorge. You will experience signs of the valve being hard to turn, sand getting back into the pool, water leaking out of the waste port when in filtration mode. Inspecting the gasket will be the best way to find out if its bad.

my hayward sand filter model S 166 T water is coming out of both the return port and backwash port when on . WHY?
Reply
Hi, Ken. That's an indication that the diverter gasket is bad and will need to be replaced. The ports are not sealing allowing water to flow to other ports of the valve.

I have an S210T2 with an SP0714T. It's started leaking out of the backwash port on any setting of the top mount (including closed). I've noticed the handle has a lot of play (I don't remember that from last year). I'm assuming SPX0714CA needs to be replaced, but what about spring/gaskets/rings? Suggested to replace the lot of them?

Hi Craik, I would suggest this Hayward SPX714BA Complete Handle Assembly this will include the springs, handle, diverter and gaskets. Basically, everything that may be causing your issue.

I replace the Key/seal Assembly Diffuser w/ Gasket Glued In) (spx0714ca and must have mounted it wrong because the backwash does not flush the water just trickles out. Is there a picture or good explanation how it should be mounted onto the top with the handle.

Would the SPX714BA Handle Assy work with my existing SP714A valve body?
Can I order an extra top sticker label for the SPX714BA ?

Hi, Scott. The Cover Assembly - SPX714BA will fit the SP714A valve. The replacement decal is p/n SPX0714G.

My sp714-a valve works fine except when on recirculation setting. When its on and in this setting, its leaking out of my backwash/waste line. What do i need to fix my valve?
Reply
Hello based off the information provided yes you will need to replace the Key/seal Assembly (Diffuser w/ Gasket Glued In) (spx0714ca) inside your valve. One of the gaskets chambers seems to be worn and not making a perfect seal.

When running my filter it is leaking water underneath the top handle assembly. the only model number i can see is SP714-A. what part do i order to remedy this leak?
Thanks
Reply
For a leaking valve, it could be the spider gasket, body oring, one of the flat washers. I would recommend changing Key,cover And Handle Assembly (spx0714ba)

i am getting sand in my pool after running the pump. I have emptied the sand from the filter and inspected the laterals and center pipe and no noticeable damage that i can see. I put new sand in and backwashed and rinsed a few times. ran the filter again and sand is still entering the pool. can any part of the multi port valve assembly cause this? its's a hayward vari-flo xl, not sure of exact model. S166T sand filter.
Reply
Yes, the spider gasket failing can cause this issue and this assembly would be the correct part for replacing that gasket. You may want to inspect it first. It may need to reset.

I have a Hayward SPO714T VARI-FLO SERIES its leaking out the back wash valve please let me know whatnpartswI need to fix it???

I have Sta-Rite sand filter. (model T-240BP-1) Just replaced only the top portion of the key assembly with Hayward Vari-Flo Valve. I see no model #. Worked for couple days and now key is stuck on Filter. Can push leaver down, but cannot move to other functions. So believe I need to replace the bottom housing with glued in gasket. Is this the correct part?? Thanks.
Reply
Hi Tom, No this is not the correct replacement for your Sta-Rite model T-240BP-1 You will need this Sta-Rite Diverter with Spider Gasket or you could go with the entire Sta-Rite Upper Valve Assembly with Diverter & Spider Gasket. Here is the parts breakdown for the Sta-Rite Crystal Flo Valve

It appears that we need to replace the Key Assembly because water is leaking out of the backwash when in filter mode. The backwash feature is also not working -the water is just trickling out rather than the usual forceful push of water that comes out. Could this all be caused by the same problem? I'm hoping the key assembly replacement will fix both. The pump was only used for 2 seasons (about 8 months total) and the gasket doesn't look to be in bad shape -is this a normal time to replace it?
Hi, Marie. The issue can be caused by the same issue if the water is not flowing through the valve properly.

Hi! I have water trickling out the backwash hose when filtering, actually it's tricking all the time. Backwash mode still works . Do I need a spider valve? SP0714G11M I'm having trouble finding anything for the pump number. Can you please help me?
Hi, Desiree. This is the correct replacement part for your model valve that will resolve the issue that you're having.

I have Hayward sand filter S210T, with the multi valve SP714A, does your item work with my unit? The pools store tells me that Hayward replacement option is to replace the entire valve unit. I assume this can be used instead? is it best to replace the entire top portion or just buy the diverter with new spider seal?
Would it be better to buy the valve

When I vacuum I get debris (algae) pumping back into my pool. Also when I backwash, it’s hard to stop water from coming out of the backwash valve. Any suggestions? I have a Hayward SP0714T1 filter.
Reply
Hi Eddie, What you have explained is normally a sign of a bad spider gasket within your valve and we would suggest the replacement diverter with spider gasket on this page to fix your issue.
Reply
do you not sell the spyder gasket without bying the whole top portion ?
Reply
Hi Robert, unfortunately for this particular Hayward model multiport valve the spider gasket is not sold separately.
Reply
The model number of my valve is SP714, i.e., not "T" at the end. Will this still work?
Hi Robert, yes this is compatible with the Hayward Vari Flo multiport valve. The "T" is merely one of a few alternate part numbers for the same multiport valve.

It looks like I have a SP0714T1 valve. After backwashing, the water continue to leaks from my drain hose. Can you suggest the proper repair? A couple of pics are attached.
Hi Dennis, this diverter w/ gasket is most commonly the issue to repair that leak on the Hayward Variflo valve model SP0714T. Here is a guide that we put together for replacing a spider gasket that may also assist.

My model # is SP0710X32NP. Will the diverter for SP0714T fit?
Hi, No this upper handle assembly will not fit your valve. You will need this Hayward SP0710X32 Upper Handle Assembly

My backwash is leaking and I believe I need a new spider gasket. The model number is SP0714G11M. Can you refer the correct part for that valve please?
Reply
Hi Dave, this is caused by a failing spider gasket. This is the correct diverter w/ spider gasket for your Hayward model SP0714G11M multiport valve.
Reply
Does this include new O rings and the plastic thing on the shaft that the spring fits over ?
Reply
Hi Tony, this diverter does not include those parts. You would need the upper handle assembly to have all of those parts.
Reply
Does this part come with the O rings that go around the shaft of this diverter ?

I have a Hayward sand filter S220T w/ SP0714T valve, I am getting sand in the pool, about a 1 cup a few days after cleaning the pool. Will replacing the Diverter Valve and gasket solve the problem ? If not, what do you recommend ?
(the replacement diverter valve doesn't come with the o-rings ?)
Thank you !

Hi Eric, this is the correct diverter w/ spider gasket for the Hayward multiport valve model SP0714T. Here is a guide that we put together called "Sand in Your Pool?" that may also offer some tips as to what else might be causing this issue.

I HAVE A FILTER WITH SPXO714CA KEY SEAL ASSEMBLY CAN I CHANGE JUST THE SPIDER GASKET OR IS IT PART OF SEAL ASSEMBLY THANKS DANNY

Hi Danny, You cannot just replace the spider gasket. You will need to purchase this diverter with the spider gasket glued in, this will be the part you require. Thanks so much!

Our waste valve is leaking after backwash and there is also sand in the pool in our vacuum. I cannot find a part number for our Valve to confirm replacement gasket parts. Is this the correct part for my variflo xl? Thank you in advance!
Hi Kate, yes this is the correct diverter with spider gasket assembly for commonly resolving your leaking issue for the Hayward VariFlo XL SP714T multiport valve

Is this part interchangeable with the valve stem assembly SPX710?
Thanks
Reply
Hello Mark, it is not interchangeable with your valve unfortunately. The correct diverter assembly and gasket for your valve are located on this parts diagram.

Is SP0714T
the same as SP0714C
Reply
Hello Haskell, yes the part number SP0714C is compatible with this SP0714C. It is just an alternate part number. I have also emailed you an estimate that you can covert to an order if you would like. Item is in stock and ready to ship.
