    Pentair valve housing leaking

    Hi Everyone. I have a plumbing issue I'd like to get some feedback on. The diverter valve housing for my pool heater is cracked and leaking. I've tried applying PVC cement to the cracks to no avail. I think my only option is replacement, but that won't be an easy task (major plumbing changes)...
