How do you replace a top valve assembly

To change this assembly you would need to unscrew the top, remove, and literally replace with the new assembly. This new one comes with the gasket included. If the gasket is not already siliconed into the diverter then you will need to do that. Flat side of the gasket gets siliconed into the grooves or channels of the diverter, then let it dry. Clear RTV silicone is fine to use. Make sure it is put back in the same position it was in, rescrew and then you're done.

Water Coming out of Backwash Hose During Filter Cycle

Written on 7/6/2020 by Guest

My filter is old, it is a meteor, (probably 20+ years) no idea what the model is, but there was a number on the top of the valve. So I looked that up and found a replacement on your site, since I am never sure I have the right part, I got on chat with you guys, The CSR that helped me was Michelle.

I told her what the problem was and the first suggestion was to get the whole valve, but I explained that If I was going that route, I would just get a new filter, because I have a solar heater on my roof and there are many pipes that are glued together and connected to the filter which would mean I would have to re-pipe everything.

So I asked the customer service if the part I was looking at (just the top part) would work, she said give her a minute to check it out and then came back and said yes. So I ordered the part. I figured I could do it on my own, but my brother lives right next door, and if there was something that would go wrong (which is normal for me) I would have to call him over anyway, so I just asked him to do it.

While I watched and held parts. He looked at it said that's no problem. I had some lube for him to use, but he said it was already lubricated. He removed the 6 screws and bolts, took the old valve top off, replaced it with the new valve top, then put the screws and bolts back in and that was it.

We then turned everything back on and there is no more water coming out of my backwash hose during filter cycle or any other cycle other than backwash, rinse or waste! Thank you for helping me and the courteous customer service. you are my new go to for pool supplies. (other than the 5 gallons of liquid chlorine I get from my local shop) Thanks again.
