Hello to all,
I believe I have a check valve that failed. it seems that the valve door stays in the same position regardless of the water flow using pool or spa.
The first picture is a close-up of the valve, the next pic is a position pic of where it is located [btw the puck feeder and the heater-note, pucks are only used to raise CYA when appropriate] Note, the pic of the ck-valve close up is while the pump was off.
Can someone pls recommend the appropriate type of Jandy Ck-valve by model type? I am not going back to this model.
As far as replacement, I was going to hack-saw the PVC as close to each side of the current ck-valve to remove it. Then get the appropriate amt of PVC and one coupling, unscrew the out-bound union of the heater, then cut to fit and install the new ck-valve. Do the unions on the heater have O-rings? If so, I have the appropriate silicone to lube it. Going to need to find a huge wrench to remove and re-install the union.
Pls let me know if this sounds right or any other advice. I am assuming the same type of PVC glue and primer as reg PVC.
Thanks again, tstex
