Bugman1400 Posted September 4, 2011 Report Share Posted September 4, 2011 My 5-way valve is starting to pour water from multiple cracks in the housing. It was patched by the previous homeowner with some type of JB Weld. Currently, it is a 75GPM valve. My question is whether or not to with a 100GPM valve or back to the original 75GPM valve. I have a LX400 heater with 2" piping, the pump is a 1HP pump, the DE filter is 48SQFT. All of the piping to and from the pool is 1.5" pipe. The pool is a vinyl 26K GALs, I have 1 skimmer w/ drain, a main drain on the bottom, a main jet by the stairs, and two smaller jets on the other side of the pool. The existing 1HP pump runs good with no leaks but, I am not above replacing too. I also have a AquaLink RS system that controls the pump, lights, heater, etc. Any suggestions?

PoolGuyNJ Posted September 6, 2011 Report Share Posted September 6, 2011 I don't see a big difference in performance so I would go with the less expensive 1.5" part. Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
