After Market Back up Valve by CMP for Polaris Jandy Zodiac G52 Back Up Valve Kit (LX10)
The G52 Back-Up Valve is a replacement part, not an add-on. If your cleaner is experiencing issues such as getting stuck on edges of the pool or having a hard time turning around, this could be due to a faulty back-up valve. Every 3 minutes the back-up valve will shoot water in the opposite direction that the cleaner is currently heading. This will help the cleaner remove itself from a stuck position. You can test if yours is having issues by watching to see if this is happening and if not it might be time to replace.
On My Pentair Legend vacuums Letro back up valve that I got in 2007 when our pool was new seems to be missing a bolt or plug to keep the water from shooting out. Do you sell that plug or part .It looks like it is mounted with a screw on the vacuum side of the hose.

Hi Tom, The Back- Up Valve mechanism is designed to open and close allowing the unit to go forward and back up. The mechanism opens closes every 3-5 minutes.

I purchased a ll505g kreepy crawler in 6-18, the back up valve has malfunctioned , ie, will not back up.
I talked to Bailey pool shop where I purchased product, they suggested opening up valve and check for possible debris, I did same, no trash found, also checked fitting in pool wall where crawler hose attaches, screen was clean. Is there any warranty on valve?
