I need parts for my filter valve. When I look at the filter parts breakdown, it gives me different choices. How do I know which one is the one I need?
 Reply

A  Answered on 1/31/2012 by InyoPools Product Specialist Patrick P.

In order to locate the correct parts we will need to know the model number of the filter valve. Two identical filters can have two different valves. Typically the valve model will be located on the label of the valve. If there is no model number on the valve, you can try to see if there are any part numbers on the valve itself. Once you've located you valve model you can check out our >Filter Valve Parts.

Have an old filter believe its a nautilus de filter. Only thing I have on the valve is sm10-2de. Valve assembly keeps tearing up spider gaskets and housing is starting to crack around screws. Is this the right replacement valve?

Hi JP, Yes this would be the correct replacement valve for a Nautilus DE filter currently using a sm10-2de valve.

Would this model replace a Praher SM20-1 that is currently on a Purex Triton FNS Plus 60?
 Reply

A  Answered on 5/21/2019 by InyoPools Product Specialist Patrick P.

Hi Nick, This valve does connect to the Purex Triton FNS Plus 60. I cannot confirm that the ports that the plumbing goes into will be in the exact same location as your SM20-1 so you may have a little re-plumbing. Also, this valve accepts 1.5" plumbing so you might want to double check that the plumbing going into your valve is 1.5". If it is 2" then you might want to opt for the 2" FNS Plus Valve

My valve is an SME10-2D..E. I was looking for the valve assembly only and not all the piping. I think my spring is gone. Do I have to buy this 261177 with all the piping ? Or is there a valve assembly available. Secondly this refers to 1.5 inch piping. My pipes are 2 inch and seem to go into couplings that around 2.5 inches. the dimensions in your picture are different . But I assure you the valve assembly is exactly what is in the picture. Should i worry something wont fit?

A  Answered on 3/17/2020 by InyoPools Product Specialist Patrick P.

Hi Ronald, We would suggest this Valve Top Assy - E-50-S1 which will fit the SM10-2DE filter valve. The E-50-S1 is just the upper valve assembly and not all of the piping. The Diverter Gasket - E-12-S1  and the Cover O-ring - E-7-S1 are not included with the E-50-S1, I would recommend that you replace them.

    In looking at this image the top seems to be backwards. My filter position is front and backwash position back towards the filter. The image looks like this filter goes the other way??? Is this a Pentair part? Is 4600-1102 from you. I assume that is equivalent to a E-12-S1 What is the cover o ring for.
     Reply

    • Commented on 3/19/2020 by InyoPools Product Specialist Patrick P.

      Hi Ronald, The 4600-1102 is not made by Pentair it made by Praher. If the 26-1177 Valve Looks identical to your valve then I would suggest ordering the 26-1177 valve and that will ensure there is no compatibility issues. The cover o-ring is # 6 on this SM10 Valve Parts Diagram this valve cover o-ring would just be replaced for preventative maintenance. If you do purchase the complete valve than this o-ring is included.

        OK. So I buy the whole assembly with piping, (part 26-1177) and I they unscrew the valve itself and also remove the o ring o ring and use it to replace mine. I already bought the 4600-1102 from you last week. That sounds like the plan. Correct?
