{"product_id":"2-positive-diverter-seal","title":"Pentair 2 Inch Positive Diverter Seal","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Pentair 072431Z is the positive diverter seal for 2 inch diverter valves. It is the genuine Pentair part.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat the seal does\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA positive diverter is meant to close a port outright, not just bias flow toward one side. The seal is what makes that possible: it presses against the valve body so the shut side is genuinely shut. As the seal hardens with age and chemical exposure, water finds its way past, and a port that reads closed at the handle is still passing flow. That shows up as a spa that will not hold its return, or a suction line that keeps pulling when it should be isolated.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBefore you order\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eConfirm the valve size. This is the 2 inch seal, and the 1-1\/2 inch valve uses a different Pentair part. While the valve is apart it is worth looking at the shaft and the cover o-rings, since a valve that has been stiff to turn has usually taken its wear in more than one place.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pentair","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48634446643412,"sku":"PUR-561-2784","price":33.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0801\/9568\/2516\/files\/default_409bb53f-1132-4732-843d-bd0ae030b303.jpg?v=1788830619","url":"https:\/\/www.activepoolsupply.com\/products\/2-positive-diverter-seal","provider":"Active Pool Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
