It is the genuine Pentair part.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat it does\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA multiport valve works by pressing a rotating diverter onto a seat. The spring provides that pressure. When it weakens, the diverter no longer seats hard enough, and water finds its way between ports instead of following the position on the handle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe symptom\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWater running to waste while the handle sits on filter is the classic sign. The spring is one of three usual causes, along with a worn diverter gasket and a scored seat, so look at all three while the valve is open.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eValve models\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePentair lists this spring for models 261124, 261185, 261177, 261173, 261055 and 261152. While the valve is apart, the top o-ring, handle washer and stem o-ring are cheap and worth replacing at the same time.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pentair","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48626984124628,"sku":"PAC-061-2417","price":45.91,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0801\/9568\/2516\/files\/default_e7633f12-ceea-43cf-af1c-e69e9e36bed8.png?v=1788718766","url":"https:\/\/www.activepoolsupply.com\/products\/valve-spring-1","provider":"Active Pool Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
