On my multy port valve, the valve stem on the Key/Stem is broken, which means I do not lift the key off the gasket when changing positions.
My pool service store do not repair the valve, in fact the suggested replacing the entire filter unit at +/- U$3000 equivalent. I would like i simpler repair, ie changing the valve head assembly or key/stem assembly.
The problem is, I don't know which model valve (belive it is Hayward) and cannot locate a product number.
Any suggestion on how to resolve my problem, would be greatly appreciated.
I have attached pictures of the MPV as installed.

That's a Praher (Pentair) valve. It appears that the spring is broken, so instead of you not raising the diverter when changing positions it isn't pressing the diverter down onto the body partitions.

Look for parts for a SM-10 multiport valve and you should be able to find what you need.

Based on th SM-10 on the lid, it could be this valve:

Using just the top assembly may repair what you need.
Or this entire valve may fit.
Pentair 261173.
