So it’s okay to do all this during the summer?? Won’t water come rushing in if I open the valve from the top? I’m assuming it’s not good to do this during the winter months when everything is winterized and blown out.

Thanks for this video, I need to rebuild both of my valves and this was great for seeing what I'm in for before I open things up. My only question is if there's a reason you didn't put lube on the "square" gasket on the key door (the part that rotates to block the water pipes)? It seems like that's a rubber valve that could also benefit from lube?

Is it possible to get air in one position and not the other. I get air in on spa mode but not when it’s in pool mode

What if the screw hole on the housing is stripped and I can not tighten the cover? It is a big deal to replace the housing in my case. Is there a kit where the hole can be enlarged a plug with a smaller hole glued in and then the screw refitted???? If no kit exists? what is the plastic the housing is made of so I can machine my own plug glue in and rethread???? Thanks

Put in a roothpick or two. The screw will bite into them.

Why no lube on the face of the rectangular seal of the movable gate?
