Yep, the R172288 is a Pentair check valve, is what they installed with the new heater. I did not see Pentair on the label and R172288 is not listed on the Pentair site, but it is in the installation manual. I should have known, as Pentair does use parts from other manufacturers, putting their...

Found this in my MasterTemp manual, page 14.

I was told by service they would install a check valve. I had one I thought, the clear view as pictured, and also the 3 way Jandy with intellivale. This is what they installed. I called and asked for the Pentair part number and this 172288, didn't mention that it was not Pentair. Upon further...

I saved the picture of timer and plug in the box for my electrician.

Ack, I didn't know I could do this. Thanks for sharing this. Already filled the new spa and closing pool shortly but will try that when pool opens up again and need to drain, purge, and refill. Love getting tips!
