Hi, everyone. Over the past couple seasons my diverter valve handles have snapped off. Is this an easy replacement? I’m pretty handy. Just not sure if I can do this without cutting any pipe?
Thanks!
Thanks!
Probably will only be at this house another year or 2 . What’s the short term solution. There has to be just generic handles that I can replace with correct?Those are ball valves, not diverter valves .
The handles probably broke with the valve getting harder to turn and sticking.
The long term fix is replacing those valves with diverter valves. Otherwise you will continue to have problems with them.
I think I see the square Hayward symbol in one of the blue centers. They may be a model that Hayward no longer makes.
Remove a handle and see what the shape of the stem is. Then have to hunt and maybe buy some handles to find a match.Probably will only be at this house another year or 2 . What’s the short term solution. There has to be just generic handles that I can replace with correct?

Hayward Trimline SP0723 Shut off Ball Valve
Hayward ball valves are non-corrosive, durable valves designed for maximum flow efficiencies. The union end connector accurately aligns the ball and allows for simple dis-assembly of piping connections.www.thepoolfactory.com
Yes the valves turn. Last season I had to use plyers to turn handle when I wanted to shut a specific filter or deep end offRemove a handle and see what the shape of the stem is. Then have to hunt and maybe buy some handles to find a match.
Use a pair of vise grips to turn the valve.
Do you know the valves turn?
buy one and see if it fitsI can’t just get the handle ..? And replace this piece ?
Yeah I always blow the leaves. I’m not opening the pool for another month. Just trying to get ahead of things. The heater is disconnected and the feeder is not usedAlso, you should clean the leaves so the pump can have proper ventilation.
You should not put tabs in the feeder to protect the heater.

Yes but since I only have to replace the handles I’d rather not spend $50 on 5 replacementsNewval, 15699, 0570806BL, Ball Valve 2" | PartCrib.com
