    Check Valve Replacement Help

    Is there a flow benefit of plumbing the jandy valve on the outside vs the inside? 2.5" vs 2". Or is the inside diameter the same either way. I like the idea of cutting the top of the check valve off leaving the jandy to be plumbed on the inside. But will flow be affected?

    Help Replace Pentair Multiport Valve

    How do you think I can make things easier moving forward? Only thing I can think is to extend pipes upward. They wanted to save space with the setup for sure.

    Just tried a clamp and it unfortunately still leaked. The crack goes vertical alittle bit on the body and the clamp would not close it. Just ordered new Jandy valve 3 way 1.5 to 2".
