The valve appears to be part number SP0714T, from the PDF file showing the S244T sand filter with the valve on it. BTW, the attempt to use WD-40 on the valve itself did not produce the desired result. It is still sticking in the partially open/closed position.

I will try Tom's suggestion first and see how that pans out. I will get back with you with the results. In the meantime, I just had ONE question for now: If my above attempt fails to fix the sticking multi-port valve handle, and I DID decide to take apart the multi-port valve, do you know of...

Hello, I am in the need of some expert advice from you guys. We purchased our home about 6 years ago which also had a pool and spa. Due to circumstances beyond our control (hurricane Katrina), we did not return to live in the house until a year and half ago (the house was being rented...
