This is the third handle I've broken off trying to get it back into its locked position. Phoenix weather is pretty harsh on those O-rings, I understand, but this is ridiculous.
My newcomer question is....
Is it as simple as buying a multiport valve and installing it? Or, is there some plumbing work to be done beforehand? I'm not afraid to get my hands dirty, but if I have to spend another dime on a push/pull valve just to have the O-rings dry up in this 115º heat and break the handle off again, I'll most likely lose what little sanity I have left.
Just in case you need any background info:
The pool is a Paddock Pool.
Sand filter.
Cleaning system. (pop-up jets)
17,000'ish gallons.
Pebble-tech
Thank you in advance,
Len
