What kind of replacement check valve to purchase?

[Perno13]

Hi, brand new here! My lawn guys cracked the plastic on my check valve to my hot tub and Pinch a Penny sold me a Pentair that seems a little too long to fit in as the replacement (for $100 - yikes). How do I identify the replacement? I've attached some pics of the one I want to replace. Thanks for any help!

That appears to be a Jandy check valve. If the body is good, you can purchase that whole assembly. For the most part they are not interchangeable across brands. This CMP replacement works well and is very much less expensive. I have used them.

@1poolman1 would you agree that is a Jandy check valve?

Looks like it.

FWIW, The markings are different than my genuine Jandy/Zodiac, but I guess it could be a non-Jandy replacement.

Best I can tell is CMP Hydroseal. Maybe the bodies are the same?

OP, what brand are your diverter valves.

Jandy usually has more writing on the lid and the arrow is not centered.

Is there any writing on the actual valve anywhere including on the bottom of the valve?

Do you have a picture of the body?

It looks like it's the FLOW brand

CMP Hydroseal looks correct.

White pin for flapper where Jandy uses a SS pin.

Flow Arrow in center with no other writing.

It's possible that the Jandy will fit since CMP tends to do exact replicas of other company's products.

I think you nailed it, I didn't even think of looking behind (was quite a chore, it's a weird position). I found p/n 25830-714-000 so I should be able to buy this and just use the guts right?

When reinstalling the screws, make sure not to cross-thread the screws as that will strip the plastic threads.

To get the screw into the original threads, slowly turn the screw counterclockwise with light pressure until you feel the screw set into the original threads and then go clockwise.
