What customers say
Customers overwhelmingly praise the Pentair 261173 Multiport Valve Kit as an excellent value OEM repair solution. The primary theme is successful restoration; this kit effectively fixes leaks and flow issues, avoiding the high cost of a full valve replacement. Buyers confirm the internal components, like the rotor, are high quality and fit perfectly, ensuring system integrity. While installation requires care, many DIY users manage it well. A minor concern involves the price point for internal parts alone. Furthermore, some users note the spider gasket may need replacement after a few seasons. Despite these small durability caveats, the kit is viewed as an essential purchase that reliably extends the life of the filtration system.
