EASY FIX FOR BROKEN PENTAIR POOL AND SPA VALVE ACTUATOR (CVA-24)

This video shows how to save money by repairing pool and spa valve actuator rather than buying a whole new valve actuator. What frequently breaks on these Pentair valve actuators are the microswitches. Luckily these switches are easy to replace.

I just swapped out two of these switches on my pool/spa actuator and now it works. Thank you for posting this video and saving me 100s of dollars.

I like saving customers money. Thanks for the video.

[@AlmaCole]

This worked for me. Thank for saving me all the money of buying a whole new actuator

Thank you for the help. Fixed mine and I was about to call a service man and buy a new valve actuator :)

[@amanisofia2701]

That was an easy fix. The switch was $11 on amazon. Sure beats the heck out of replacing the actuator. Wish I knew about this last time. Thanks to you and for youtube saving the day once again. Now if someone can just figure out on how to keep the pump seals from leaking every few years.

Thank you VERY MUCH. Solved my problem for $13.

Fantastic! I have replaced my microswitch least 2-3 times in the past 9 years. Always the same issue.

I had a hard time removing the micro switch. It appears they are now manufactured to not come off. There is a small bump that stops it from being removed. Pool equipment was installed in 2019. Unless I’m not being forceful enough. It just seems like the wire will rip off if I’m more forceful. To be clear this is for my Penrtair Spa return valve.

The switches did not work on my valve. I think it’s bad so do you have a video of how to install a brand new pentair spa valve. I would love to see it.

[@masterofnone7243]

Have you tried toggling the switch up or down on the spa valve. It should be toggled down. Toggle switch in middle position is off.

[@freddie3159]

Can you turn the valve manually like the Jandy valve?

[@jl3268]

My valve looks like it's working but the spillover won't stop to heat the spa.

[@johnlowery8058]

Will that microswitch also work on Jandy actuator

[@masterofnone7243]

Switches were only few dollars. I think it's worth trying. New actuator will cost you at least $200

Exelent video Thank you

No need to power off panel. Put in test mode. Replace switches.

I have replaced 3 of these valves because the gear teeth wear out or the valve allows water to collect in the bottom and rust. Im over the expense name brands to get lousy service life. I am going to give the cheap knock off brand a try.
