I have a cracked 3-way Jandy diverter valve that needs to be replaced. It is cracked on the bottom and leaks water when I turn the pump on. I watched a video on youtube and it looks like I just need to saw off the white pipes and attach straight connectors and another short pipe when placing a...

I've inherited a pool with a concrete base and fiberglass sides that. There are some relatively thin cracks in the shallow end.
