    Replacing check valve and a ball valve- not sure exactly how to do it.

    Great- will get the parts and give it a go next weekend. I did use the new O ring from the new valve. I think one of my screws on the valve is slighlty stripped- where that leak is coming from. Now it only leaks when the booster pump is on- so that is good. Thanks again.

    Replacing check valve and a ball valve- not sure exactly how to do it.

    So i used the original valve cover- and it was doing the leaking then I put on the new valve cover that came with the new diverter. So anything caulk or a silicone sealant come to mind might work. When walking through your replumbing I thought of one that if i come out 2 inches more from the...

    Replacing check valve and a ball valve- not sure exactly how to do it.

    So the width is different and not the height- also it was from a new 3 way valve and i took out the diverter in the valve(did buy larger part and cannibalized). I was able to finally get the diverter valve to shut- but it has to be precise. So i took off the actuator and replaced the valve in...

    Replacing check valve and a ball valve- not sure exactly how to do it.

    I had yet to do the check and ball valve replacement and trying to buy parts. So in speaking to the pool supply guy and i was asking him about the vavle replacements. He thought the the check valve probably wasnt the issue as my pool equipment is some 3-4 feet above my spa and pool. He...

    Replacing check valve and a ball valve- not sure exactly how to do it.

    I have done some digging with the various issues i am having. What it looks and sounds like is my diverter valve is not closing entirely when put into spa mode and i can hear the water going down to the pool pipe. I recently replaced the diverter valve with what i was told would replace it...

    Replacing check valve and a ball valve- not sure exactly how to do it.

    So the ball valve does not close all the way either- this all came with the house i bought 10 years ago. So the ball valve closes off the spa- so the water only returns to pool. I have yet to use the ball valve in the 10 years i have had it but I feel i need to have one. It would be easier...

    Replacing check valve and a ball valve- not sure exactly how to do it.

    I was thinking it would be easier to keep everything 2 inch- but wasnt sure the size of 1.5 inch was there for a reason. when the pool return is open so water goes to both pool and spa as spa has waterfall feature into pool- i was thinking it may be because the design wanted more water diverted...
