Where that shaft passes out of the valve body it is sealed by this o-ring. Over years of chlorine and handle movement the rubber hardens and takes a set, and water begins to weep or spray from around the handle whenever the pump runs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFitting\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWork with the pump off and the system depressurized. Use a silicone based pool lubricant on the new o-ring so it slides into place without rolling or nicking on the shaft. If the valve is already apart, it is worth replacing the other seals in it at the same time.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pentair","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48628737343700,"sku":"PAC-061-8966","price":6.29,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0801\/9568\/2516\/files\/default_6f07feba-7a51-4ae9-89ad-feaf415deaf0.png?v=1788749428","url":"https:\/\/www.activepoolsupply.com\/products\/diverter-shaft-o-ring","provider":"Active Pool Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
