I need parts for my filter valve. When I look at the filter parts breakdown, it gives me different choices. How do I know which one is the one I need?
 Reply

A  Answered on 1/31/2012 by InyoPools Product Specialist Patrick P.

In order to locate the correct parts we will need to know the model number of the filter valve. Two identical filters can have two different valves. Typically the valve model will be located on the label of the valve. If there is no model number on the valve, you can try to see if there are any part numbers on the valve itself. Once you've located you valve model you can check out our >Filter Valve Parts.

Hi Greg, The 2" Multiport Valve Assy. (18201-0200) would be the correct valve that would fit onto the Sta-Rite S8D110 Filter.

Have a relatively new WC212-150PN selector valve but water seeps up in the center, fills the selector slots and overflows from the top. Not a flood but it spills over. I've replaced the spider valve underneath. Must I replace the entire valve handle assembly or are there serviceable gaskets or O-rings within? Note that the valve handle assembly when removed (and when in situ) springs back in place immediately so the assembly doesn't seem like it needs replacement were it not for the leakage.
 Reply

A  Answered on 1/5/2017 by InyoPools Product Specialist Adam Y.

Good morning Bryan, If it is leaking up through the handle then you would need a handle kit. It comes with the spring, washer's and o-rings. If it is leaking from the sides where it screws together. Then you would need a top o-ring. if this is to complicated in rebuilding the handle. I would recommend just purchasing the whole top and replacing it.

I have the Sta-Rite System 3 sand filter, model S8S70. The owner's manual lists multi-port valve part no. 18202-0200 as the correct valve. Is this the same as part no. 18201-0200? Part no. 18202-0200 seems to be no longer available on the market.

I have a Praher Plastics SM2-SR2... Apparently companies OEM the Praher multiport valves... Is this the same as the SM2-SR2 which has an external model of SM20-2? I'm ultimately trying to find a new vertical DE filter to fit the SM2-SR2 to since it doesn't fit my old Titan filter.. This is like finding a needle in a haystack!! Mike
