Product details

This is the genuine Sta-Rite 14971-SM10E9, the stainless steel spring from inside a multiport valve. It is a small part with an outsized job.

What it does

A multiport valve works by pressing a rotating key down onto a seat. The spring provides that pressure. When the spring weakens, corrodes or breaks, the key stops sealing and water finds its way between ports, so a filter setting behaves partly like a bypass. The usual complaints are pressure that will not build, water returning to waste, or a valve that leaks past even in a good position.

Where it belongs

Sta-Rite lists this spring for the 2 inch Cristal-Flo top mount valve, model 14971-TM-22-L, and for the 1-1/2 inch and 2 inch side mount valves, models 18202-150 and 18201-0200. Because stainless was chosen for a reason, do not substitute a plated spring from a hardware drawer: it will rust into the valve body and make the next service much harder.

Questions and answers

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

Which valves does this spring fit?
It is listed for the Sta-Rite 2 inch Cristal-Flo top mount valve, model 14971-TM-22-L, and for the 1-1/2 inch and 2 inch side mount valves, models 18202-150 and 18201-0200.
Is it a genuine Sta-Rite part?
Yes. It is the OEM spring, part number 14971-SM10E9.
What does the spring actually do?
It loads the valve key down onto the seat. Without that pressure the diverter floats and water leaks between ports.
Should I replace anything else while I am in there?
The valve seat gasket and the shaft o-ring live in the same assembly and are the usual companions to a spring change.
