Pentair 262506 1-1/2-Inch 6-Way Clamp Style Valve Replacement Pool and Spa Sand Filter

They have great products we use them for all of our pool needs

So I fired up the pool this year, had a broken spring in the valve, label was hardly readable, site glass was leaking, gauge quit working, etc. I was ready to order all of the replacement parts when I fired up the pump and realized my current valve was leaking. Did some quick math and realized that for just about the same money as those replacement parts I could have a new valve. So I ordered this, it arrived in two days, installed in 5 minutes and I was back in business with no leaks. I decided to keep the old valve in case I need parts down the road. This is the exact replacement for my Sand Dollar filter. I did read another review about draining the sand filter prior to install, and I think that made all of the difference for my valve replacement activities.

Fit great, easy to install and it was the complete water flow valve.. great value

After 15 years, I managed to break my pool pump filter valve housing while tightening a new pressure gauge. Quite frankly, it was on its way out anyway, making a rattling noise constantly, and resisting changing the filter settings. So not really my fault, my Dear. But I digress.No amount of silicone would seal the crack in the old valve housing. So unless I wanted to replace my sand filter (open your wallet), I needed an exact replacement for the Pentair 6 way valve that I bought so many years ago. Could I find one? Was it obsolete? Would I need a complete new sand filter?This is an exact replacement. Although the original did not have a model number on it, I had the installation paperwork that identified my filter valve - and this one is it - what a relief...Plumbed it in yesterday (used unions this time so I can refresh my filter sand without cutting any PVC pipe) and it's working just perfectly. I used Plasto-Joint Stik for the tapered threaded joints - no leaks whatsoeverSo if you need to replace your Pentair 262506 - here it isP.S. my valve came with a pressure gauge and an O-ring - if you're encouraged to order these separately, it's probably not necessary...

The plastic material it is made seemd a bit thinner than the original but it fits perfectly and works fine with no leaks.

My original pentair 272526 valve adjustor was worn out and leaking so I needed a replacement I came across this one 262506 and was worried it wouldn’t be an accurate fit since the numbers didn’t match . But nope not the case this number replaces a multiple of part numbers and mine is one of them so if your looking to replace the same pentair part number as my old one then this is the right product for u. It came as pictured and works great no more leaks for me and it has a great price point. Cheapest one I could find online.

This valve comes with the pressure gauge, installation O-ring as well as new filter clamps and screws. It was an exact and simple replacement.

Works as should. I considered replacing parts on my old one. I am glad I just did the whole thing. Easier, smooth and trouble free summer with my pool.
