Vari-Flo multiport valve used on SP0715 and SP0716 models. It is molded in Noryl and supplied as the rotor and stem together.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat the key does\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe key is the rotating part inside a multiport valve. As the handle moves between filter, backwash, rinse, waste, recirculate and closed, the key covers and uncovers the ports underneath it. Everything the valve does depends on that part sealing cleanly against the valve body.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSymptoms of a worn key\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe usual sign is water leaving through the waste line while the valve is set to filter, or a valve that seems to sit between positions. When the key face wears, flow crosses between ports and no amount of handle adjustment will stop it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNaming\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHayward documentation refers to these valves as SP0715 and SP0716, and elsewhere as SP715 and SP716. Both refer to the same 2 in.
