I think I’ve read every posting regarding help with the Polaris backup valve.
Mine also has water coming out of it when it’s supposed to be going forward, which means the sweep doesn’t work so good either.
I saw someone say that they put a hammer to it (20 times) and it did open? Was that a rubber mallet you hit it with or a regular hammer?
I have had these apart before, not sure which one it was, because I’ve had several. And yes, when I put it back together I use the Teflon grease, and why it doesn’t help to open it, is beyond me.
I’ve even tried the two rubber strap removers, and that didn’t work either.
So, if anyone has any ideas, please let me know.
