    Loose handle on Pentair multiport value model SM-20-3; Valve assembly model SM2-PP3

    Thanks for the note.. I don't know what flocc is but I will look it up. I assume you are saying that is something I can use to deep clean the sand. Of course, I also need to find out what the sand level should be and open the filter to see if it is low. I have not changed it or added any...

    Multi port valve handle

    I had to remove the entire valve key (top part) to remove the pin and handle from my Pentair. There are a number of YouTube videos on doing this. Some suggest standing on it to compress the spring and give you access to the pin but I used clamps to compress it and then punched out the pin.
