New o-rings did the trick. Thank you all for your input/help.

I ended up filling both holes completely with the putty and letting dry, drilling a pilot hole and then creating new threads with the screw. Turns out that wasn't my air leak. The valve itself (where the handle attaches) is leaking the air. Time to replace some o-rings.

Both Jandy actuator and valve. I've swapped the screws and the ones used in the stripped holes work fine in the non-stripped ones but will keep in what you said about cross-threading.

Two great tips. The weird thing is I had the pool install over 3 years ago and haven't touched any of this. While investigating a suction-side leak which started last week I came across the two stripped screws (attaching the actuator to the valve.) It just so happens that these stripped screws...

Thanks Dave and Jim. I thought about a screw size up but thought it would be difficult finding the size/length needed. Jim, your idea about the Vaseline sounds like a good one. I think i am going to go this route. I'll report back with how I made out.

Just wondering if anyone has had any success repairing a stripped screw Jandy valves. I've been chasing down a suction leak and found that two of the screws are stripped. In order to replace the entire valve, I would need to replace quite a few pieces from the original install which I would...

Thanks for the input Pat. Since we have maintenance included through July, I'lll bring this all up the pool company and hopefully they will listen. Once I take over the maintenance, I will be using the TFP method. I will also work on getting the kit. Would you also recommend the XL option...

Thank you. You are correct, it is a chlorine based pool. It has an inline chlorinator (with tabs) and depending on the chemistry they have shocked it and added liquids (acids) to balance the chemistry. I just updated my signature which will hopefully help. If I left anything out of the...

I just had a Gunite Chlorine pool put in which also included a year of maintenance. They come weekly and I receive an email on test values and actions that were taken. In last weeks email I noticed that the CYA value is currently at 80. From what I see this is a bit high. Is my understanding...
