Label on my filter valve is faded. Hoe can I identify the valve positions?
 Reply

A  Answered on 6/8/2015 by InyoPools Product Specialist Dennis R.

Jim, If you look hard at the label on the "Waterway Top Mount Valve Clearwater/ Valve Lid Assembly"  you can just make ot the 7 positions and their sequence. This link shows three pictures. The sequence is: bypass to pool, rinse, filter, bypass to waste, winterize, closed, and backwash.

After back washing the pool and returning to filter position , water pours out of the backwash hose opening on the filter. Would a new handle gasket fix this problem? If not what would you recommend?

Ken, Replacing the Valve Diverter With Gasket (600-9500) for this valve will fix your problem.

I have water coming out back wash ,I've replaced spider gasket twice and still same issue ,it's a pro line filter 7 position part#808-0043-N can I replace the 7 position valve or diverter w 6 screws and does it come w gasket already installed? I get very frustrated w this thing the gasket is 17 bucks each?? Any help
 Reply

A  Answered on 6/11/2016 by InyoPools Product Specialist Lennox H.

Hi Troy, You're not using the correct gasket. The gasket is not sold separately for this valve, you have to replace the Valve Diverter w/ Gasket (600-9500). You can also replace the Valve Lid Assembly (600-9600) or the entire valve, WVS002 (prior 2001) or WVS003 (after 2001).

Michelle, most of the time when we see sand going back into the pool this is due to a broken lateral. Here is a Video on How to Replace a Pool Filter lateral which you may find helpful. Also, we wrote an article on Sand Going Back in My Pool which shows other items to check.

Lubing parts will not likely resolve the issue. This is commonly due to the spring failing in the valve. You can view that as key number 9 on the parts diagram when you click here
