It is the genuine Hayward part, supplied as a kit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow a slide valve works\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstead of rotating a dial through several positions, a slide valve moves a shaft in and out of the body. Down is filter and up is backwash. That is all a sand filter needs to run and to clean itself, and it is a simpler mechanism than a multiport with fewer sealing faces to leak past as the valve ages.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOperating it\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlways stop the pump before moving the handle. Moving a valve under flow is how seals get torn and how a filter takes a pressure spike it was not built for. Pull up for backwash, run until the water in the sight glass runs clear, then shut down and push the handle back to filter.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhen to replace\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA slide valve that leaks sand back to the pool, weeps around the shaft, or will not hold a position has worn its internal seals. At that point the kit is the fix.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hayward","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48633665945812,"sku":"HAY-06-262","price":147.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0801\/9568\/2516\/files\/default_83fbd7c5-3d39-4614-b41c-ba64a6067d68.png?v=1788808413","url":"https:\/\/www.activepoolsupply.com\/products\/valve-kit-slide-2-push-pull","provider":"Active Pool Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
