I have a Pentair 6 port multivalve sand filter, 2 years old. Noted water coming out of waste line last week which corrected after moving valve position. Yesterday I backwashed and after turning valve back to filter, water started pouring out of top of filter where handle is located. I took the top apart and noted the rubber o ring on the stem atop the spring had broken and was stuck in the spring. Took to local pool store who said I would need to replace the entire top portion ($220). My question is, is there an ORing that I could buy in store at home supply store or pool store that would work?

You will see their are O rings in the parts diagram but Pentair sells the entire top assembly as a replacement...

I don't know how difficult its will be to take it apart to get to individual parts and reassemble it.

Wow, that's interesting. The Hayward MPVs have every spare part available separately. Anyone know if the Hayward SP0714 will fit the Pentair tank? Its half the price of the p

It was so easy to get it apart and I just need the ORing. Didn’t know if anyone had a similar issue and found an ORing to fit. I feel $200+ Is an expensive fix for just one part. Everything else is just fine.You will see their are O rings in the parts diagram but Pentair sells the entire top assembly as a replacement...

INSANE is what it is. Hate to spend that money if I don’t have to. Seems like a simple fix.
