Title: Valve needs replacing often at over $100
Review: This filter was here when I purchased my home 10 yrs. ago. The valve spring is metal. It rusts and eventually breaks causing you to have to buy the entire valve. I used to be able to take my old valve in and the pool store would knock out a pin and just replace the spring. I would also have to replace the gasket which is expected. Now I have to buy the entire valve assembly every couple years at a cost of over $100! No reason they need to make the part this way. Also one of the holes for screwing the fitting on stripped.
