It is the genuine Jandy part.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe NeverLube point\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA conventional backwash valve depends on greased seals, and once the grease dries out the valve gets stiff, then starts to bypass. The NeverLube line is built to run without that maintenance step, which removes the most commonly skipped item on a filter service list.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy the unions matter\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUnions turn the valve into a serviceable component. Close the system down, break the two unions, and the valve lifts out. Without them, replacing a valve means cutting pipe and rebuilding the plumbing around it, which is how a one hour job becomes an afternoon.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat it does\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe valve carries the filter to waste changeover. In the normal position water runs through the filter and back to the pool; in the backwash position flow reverses through the filter and out to waste, carrying the trapped dirt with it.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Waterpik Technologies","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48627568148692,"sku":"TLD-06-114","price":300.81,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0801\/9568\/2516\/files\/default_2176cbe9-fea0-4baf-b3b2-adc520f76a96.jpg?v=1788723733","url":"https:\/\/www.activepoolsupply.com\/products\/backwash-valve-w-unions","provider":"Active Pool Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
