Back-up by Valve by CMP for Pentair & Letro Legend Pool Cleaners
I have a Pentair Legend pool vacuum that has started losing power, turning on it's side, and does a wheelie. The front wheels leave the surface of the pool floor. I am thinking that my backup valve is defective. My system is 6+ years old. I have a in ground vinyl lined salt water pool.

Hi, Lenny. A defective back up valve can cause some of the symptoms that you're having. However, you can test the back up valve to make sure that it's opening and closing every 3-5 minutes.

Hi Steve, there are different back-up valves for the different versions of the Legend cleaner made over the years. The Legend II uses this Back Up Valve. Let us know the model number of your cleaner and we will be sure to recommend exactly what you need.

Thank you for contacting Inyo Pools, The back up valve should be going off every 4-5 minutes and if does not shut off it should be replaced.

Pros: Less expensive than original replacement
Cons: Original was grey
You don't realize how much a broken part has affected your pool until you replace it. I used this and a new sweep hose to return my Letro Legend to 100% functionality, and my pool was clean within hours.

Pros: original equipment
After 11 years, the back up valve on my Legend pool cleaner finally failed. This replacement is exactly like the original.
