What customers say
This valve is widely appreciated as a high quality, direct replacement for Sta-Rite filters, offering straightforward installation and immediate restoration of proper backwashing function. Its perfect fit establishes it as the reliable standard for compatible systems. The main drawback centers on long term durability, specifically the seals and O-rings. While initial performance is flawless, some users report leaks developing within a few seasons, requiring maintenance or replacement. Additionally, the push pull mechanism can become stiff over time. Despite these concerns about seal longevity, it remains the necessary and standard choice for an exact fit replacement, though buyers should anticipate potential future seal upkeep.
