I have leakage where valve meets valve body. I inspected the O ring and it looked fine. I went to the local pool store and picked up a new O ring anyway; however, when installed I still have leaking. I finally got aggressive and really tightened the screws down to no success. Do you think replacing the entire top assembly value will solve the leaking?

A  Answered on 6/10/2015 by InyoPools Product Specialist Patrick P.

Hi JB, Yes I do believe that by replacing the entire valve assembly that this would stop the leaking unless the leaking is coming from a crack in the filter tank.

My valve is leaking though wastewater when pump is running in filter position. Will this fix problem or do I need whole assembly?
 Reply

A  Answered on 3/28/2017 by InyoPools Product Specialist Andy O.

Hello- Assuming this is the correct part for you valve you would have two options. The problem with your valve is a bad spider gasket. On this model you would have the choice of just replacing the Diverter, Valve W/gasket (272512) or replacing the entire Top Assembly, Valve (272531).

Bottom stamp says made in canada. The labels with the part number are all worn off.

Sometimes pool pumps loose prime due to a priming issue or due to the filter needing to be cleaned or replaced as the pool is filtering enough dirt and debris. Please click here to view our Pool Pump Priming guide that may assist.
