I'm very new to pool maintenance so forgive me ignorance when it comes to terms. I have this sand filter for my in ground pool: The plastic cover of the bottom of the Slide Valve was detached yesterday as indicated in the following: Now even though I can still operate the valve to backwash, I can't figure out what mode it's on (Filter, Close.etc). Should I just purchase that part (it's a kit and it's pretty pricey) or is it pretty straight forward what the setting is without the labels or the plastic part?

Any help would greatly be appreciated. • • • • • • •. Kingamoon wrote: How do I go about replacing it? Difficulty Level - 3 -Have some silicone o-ring lube or Boss 820 pool lube ready, this is an important step. - Channel Lock/Pipe wrench When you replace the old one, you're going to unscrew the plastic cap with the silver sticker on it, just below the 'T' handle. You should be able to unscrew it by hand, but if it seems a little touch, use some Channel Lock pliers or a pipe wrench and gently unscrew the cap. Once you get it unscrewed, pull the 'T' handle straight up and the entire assembly will lift out of the backwash tube body.

The franc also commonly distinguished as the French franc (FF), was a currency of France. Between 13, it was the name of coins worth 1 livre tournois and.

Remove the screw cap and put it on the new assembly part. On the new backwash 'T' handle assembly, use the lubricants I suggested and apply them to the rubber rings assembled in the assembly. Anything rubber below the handle gets the treatment.

There's also going to be a rubber o-ring that seals the cap you just unscrewed, no need to lube that o-ring. Just make sure it's secure and not stretched out. Anything wrong with that o-ring and it will have to be replaced. With the backwash assembly lubed, insert the assembly straight into the backwash tube body. It may seem a little rigid to push down, but use some of your body weight to push it down in there.

Just make sure you don't slam it into place, it needs to slide in without hitting anything. Once the valve assembly is in, you need to check for a notch so the valve will slide all the way down. To find the notch, turn the 'T' handle until it falls completely into the notch.

Hand tighten at first, whatever you do, do NOT torque it down excessively with tools, it's only plastic and will break. When you feel you have it assembled, turn your pump on and check for any leaks. If you see any leaks, use the pliers or wrench to tighten it snug. The key word there is snug. If it still leaks, that cap O-ring will need to be replaced, because it's too crushed or worn to seal back up again.

No amount of tightening will ever seal that cap leak with a bad o-ring. Hope that helps!
