I am working on an inground cleaning system made by A&A manufacturing. It has been a frustrating learning process. It is the 6 port low profile system with 6 push in t valves. Two of those valves have lost the “rod” that lifts up the valve when the actuator goes under it. This is causing the system to dead head because the water has no where to go. I ordered two of the replacement t-valves, but my question is, do I need the $150+ kit to remove the t-valve, or can I use a screwdriver or something to get it out? Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
