Swimming Pool Valve Replacement Parts

Repair and restore your pool's valve system with pool valve replacement parts from Hayward, Pentair, Zodiac, Jandy, Praher, Waterway, and Swimquip. PST Pool Supplies stocks valve O-ring kits, multiport valves, valve covers, replacement handles, and actuator motors for the most common pool valve types, starting from $9.30.

Pool valve parts fall into two main categories — O-ring and seal kits for valve maintenance, and complete valve replacements for valve bodies that have failed beyond repair. O-ring kits are available for: Hayward #715 multiport valve (the standard MPV O-ring set for Hayward sand filter valves), Jandy Neverlube 2/3-way valve (Jandy's popular true-union ball-style diverter valve), Swimquip 2" slide valve, Hayward 410X 2" slide valve, and Hayward SP0710X valve. Individual O-rings (Buna-N, 1-1/8" ID × 1/8" CS and 7/8" ID × 1/8" CS) cover common generic pool valve seal sizes. Praher ABS valve O-rings — O-479 (2" cover) and O-236 (1-1/2" body) — serve Praher's top-mount and side-mount multiport valves. Complete multiport valve replacements include the Pentair Tagelus TA 100D (2", 6-position) and Pentair StaRite Cristal-Flo (2", 6-position) — direct replacements for their respective sand filter series. The Pentair Compool/PacFab 3-way valve cover is the lid assembly for these common automation-compatible diverter valves. The Waterway top-access diverter valve cap (2", textured scale, gray) and Hayward 4" orange replacement handle (TBX148) are common wear items on their respective valve types. The Zodiac 2" socket × socket ball valve (25800-210-000) is a standard isolation valve. The Zodiac motor kit valve actuator (R0408500) is a motorized actuator for automated valve control in Jandy/Zodiac automation systems. For multiport valve gaskets specifically, see our pool plumbing parts collection.

Most pool valve leaks can be resolved with an O-ring kit rather than full valve replacement — the most common failure modes in pool valves are worn O-rings at the valve stem, valve body joint, or port openings. When ordering an O-ring kit, verify the valve's exact model number from the valve body (usually molded or stamped into the plastic) — Hayward alone manufactures multiple valve models with non-interchangeable O-ring sizes. For motorized valve actuators, confirm the actuator's rotation angle and voltage match your automation controller's output specifications before ordering.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I fix a leaking pool ball valve or slide valve?
Leaks in pool ball valves and slide valves almost always originate from one of three locations: (1) Stem seal leak — water drips from around the valve handle shaft; caused by a worn stem O-ring. Fix: close the isolation valves on each side, relieve pressure, unscrew the valve bonnet or handle retaining nut, slide off the handle, and replace the stem O-ring with the correct size from an O-ring kit. (2) Union connection leak — water seeps at the threaded or socket joint where the valve connects to the plumbing; caused by a failed union O-ring or thread seal. Fix: disassemble the union nut, inspect and replace the union O-ring or re-tape threaded connections with PTFE tape. (3) Valve body crack — a visible crack in the ABS or PVC valve body, typically from freeze damage or UV degradation; requires full valve replacement. Before replacing any valve, always shut off the pump and close isolation valves or drain the relevant plumbing section to relieve pressure — pool plumbing at operating pressure can spray water with significant force when fittings are opened.
What is the difference between a multiport valve, a slide valve, and a ball valve in pool plumbing?
These three valve types serve different functions in pool plumbing: A multiport valve (MPV) is mounted on a sand or DE filter and controls the filter's operating mode (filter, backwash, rinse, waste, recirculate, closed) through a rotary handle — it has 6 ports connected to different plumbing paths. A slide valve (also called a push-pull valve) uses a sliding gate to open or close a single flow path — simpler than an MPV, used on some older filter systems or as isolation valves. Unlike an MPV, a slide valve only has an open/closed function with no mode selection. A ball valve uses a rotating ball with a through-hole to open or close a flow path with a 90° handle turn — used extensively as isolation valves throughout pool plumbing (to shut off flow to individual pieces of equipment for service) and as diverter valves (3-way ball valves to redirect flow between circuits). The Jandy Neverlube and Zodiac ball valves are common pool isolation and diverter ball valves. Ball valves are the most reliable valve type for isolation service; MPVs are specific to filter operation.
What is a pool valve actuator and do I need one?
A pool valve actuator is an electric motor assembly that mounts on a standard pool diverter valve and rotates the valve automatically on a signal from a pool automation controller. Without an actuator, diverter valves must be turned manually — to switch from heating the pool to heating the spa, for example, a homeowner must physically rotate the valve handles at the equipment pad. With actuators installed, the automation system (Jandy, Hayward, Pentair) can switch valve positions electronically via the control panel or smartphone app. The Zodiac motor kit valve actuator (R0408500) is a replacement motor for Jandy/Zodiac automated diverter valves — needed when the existing actuator motor fails (symptoms: valve doesn't respond to automation commands, actuator hums but doesn't move, or actuator runs continuously without stopping at the correct position). You need an actuator only if you have or plan to install a pool automation system — manual valve operation requires no actuator. When replacing an actuator motor, confirm the valve model and actuator rotation range (typically 180° for 3-way valves) before ordering.
How do I choose the right O-ring kit for my pool valve?
The key to choosing the correct pool valve O-ring kit is identifying the exact valve model — not just the brand. Hayward, Jandy, Swimquip, and Praher each manufacture multiple valve models with different O-ring sizes, and kits are not interchangeable between models. To identify your valve: (1) Look for the model number molded or stamped into the valve body — typically on the top or side of the valve near the handle. (2) For multiport valves, the model is often on a label on the valve's top dome. (3) Cross-reference the model against the available O-ring kits: Hayward #715 MPV kit for Hayward SP0715 multiport valves, Jandy Neverlube kit for Jandy 2" and 3" Neverlube diverter valves, Hayward 410X kit for Hayward slide valves, Hayward SP0710X kit for that specific valve model. If you cannot identify the valve model, measure the O-rings you remove — inside diameter and cross-section diameter — and match to the generic Buna-N O-rings (1-1/8" ID or 7/8" ID, 1/8" CS) as an alternative. Always use pool-grade Buna-N or Viton O-rings — never petroleum-lubricated automotive O-rings in pool valve applications.
