{"product_id":"spring-1","title":"Sta-Rite Stainless Steel Multiport Valve Spring","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat it does\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhere it belongs\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSta-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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sta-Rite","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48634388938964,"sku":"STA-061-5941","price":58.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0801\/9568\/2516\/files\/default_ed823eaa-e918-4e5e-8ab0-5b7218fd13e7.jpg?v=1788829035","url":"https:\/\/www.activepoolsupply.com\/products\/spring-1","provider":"Active Pool Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
