Hayward SPX0710XBA Key Cover and Handle Assembly Replacement for Hayward Multiport and Sand Filter

Moves very easily with no hangups!

Don't overtighten.

We recently dropped our pool service and began doing everything ourselves. The equipment was original to the house (20+ years old) and the multi-valve was pretty hard to turn. I replaced it in about 20 minutes (first time I'd done that--thanks YouTube!) and now it's butter smooth. And since this is an original Hayward part, the quality is there, too.If you're contemplating such a repair, don't forget to order the appropriate cover O-ring and spider gasket as well, and used some silicon grease to lube them both. Some on-line comments said to glue the spider gasket down with super glue, but I used a tiny bit of silicon sealant and it's been working like a champ.

Perfect fit and works smoothly. Does not come with cover gasket or spider gasket, but it is an excellent value.

Bought to replace valve on SP711. Also replaced the spider gasket. Dropped right in. Much smoother than the old one.O ring between valve and base comes from another supplier. Tried the old one, leaked. Instead of waiting for the o ring to show up I used Permatex auto water pump RTV sealant. Other than have to let it set up for 24 hours, the RTV worked great.

Perfect fit for filter. Arrived quickly. Easily installed.

Worked perfectly. Only wished it had come with the o-ring

This was a great purchase for us!! Our pool filter was constantly leaking. When backwashing the filter and then switching back to filtering the water, we would continue to lose water through the backwashing hose. This product definitely fixed our issue. Note - you could replace only the spring associated with this key cover and would very likely get the same result. However, I've replaced the spring once before. Though it can be done, it isn't easy at all. We're so glad we purchased this, it was worth the money.
