Pool would not backwash

Written on 5/27/2019 by Guest

I contacted your technical support. Through our dialog you diagnosed the problem and gave me the parts to order to fix it. I ordered the parts and received them a few days later.

I looked up fixing the valve on u-tube. I found one that told me you had to take it apart to get to the gasket under the spring just buy a new filter. I found another site that showed the guy standing on the filter to crush it down, then he drove the pin out of the handle to take it apart. He replaced the gaskets and stood on it and put the pin back in.

I tried to stand on it and realized I am not coordinated enough so I put it in my wood vise and squeezed it. It went together great.

The next move was to replace the spider gasket under the filter. My old one was glued in and old. It took an hour to scrape it out and clean it. I put it all back together and it works better than it ever has.

Thanks for the help. This kind of work is not my thing. I usually break things like this.

Were these instructions helpful?
