Product details

The Pentair R172439 is the control valve for the Rainbow HC Series high capacity automatic chemical feeders, covering the HC-3315, HC-3330 and HC-3340. It is the genuine Pentair replacement.

What it controls

The control valve meters the water routed through the feeder body. That flow is what erodes the tablets, so the valve setting is what actually decides how much sanitizer the feeder puts into the pool. When the valve seizes, cracks or leaks, you lose that control: the feeder either runs wide open regardless of the setting or stops feeding altogether.

Fitting

It is a direct replacement for the original valve on an installed HC Series feeder. Shut the feeder down and relieve the pressure before you open it, and check the seals and the lid o-ring while the unit is apart, since they age at the same rate as the valve.

Questions and answers

What people ask about this product, answered by our pool techs.

Which feeders does this valve fit?
The Rainbow HC-3315, HC-3330 and HC-3340 high capacity automatic chemical feeders.
Is it a genuine Pentair part?
Yes. It is Pentair part number R172439.
What does the control valve do?
It meters the water flowing through the feeder, which is what sets how fast the chemical erodes and how much sanitizer reaches the pool.
How do I know the valve is the problem?
If the feeder will not adjust, stays at full output when turned down, or weeps around the valve body, the control valve is the first part to change.
