Jandy Valve Oring Replacement & Rebuild

Learn how to take apart a Jandy valve and replace the orings to repair a suction side plumbing leak. The pool leak was causing the pump pot to empty the water overnight and cause a hard prime every day which can lead to other issues like discharge leaks, shaft seal leaks etc.

Great video... thanks. It showed me how to diagnose and fix the issue. Darn, I wish my neurosurgeon would have put out a video... I could have done my own laminectomy! Such vast knowledge and experience.... I feel sorry for lazy homeowners who pay these guys 300 bucks for 3 minutes of work!

Excellent video. My inlet valves were sucking so much air, it began to stall my Polaris. I replaced these seals and no more air leaks. The filter gained 4 psi, and my Polaris is running like a champ. Thanks again.

I'd charge $165, and I'm just a homeowner doing my own repair. Great video..thanks

Excellent video. As a retired semiconductor equipment maintenance technician, I know I can pull off rebuilds like this. PMs are PMs and are important to maintaining any mechanical system. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with those of us that that are capable of taking on a task and saving some money. My three Jandy valves are weathered and grey and stiff to operate. I decided to buy one full rebuild kit ($25 for the handle, lock nut and faceplate w/ O-rings) and then two other o-ring kits. I have three J-valves in my system.

Just an observation, but when you removed the plate, I noticed that the inlet was at 6 o'clock and not at 9 o'clock to the pump. When you replaced the plate, you changed the orientation of the inlet to the pump at 9 o'clock as you described in the video. Regardless, i was able to replace the "O" rings and the pump is no longer sucking air, so thank you!

My pool man only charged me parts fees $9 NO labor fees , he is so kind.

[@harvardtroy7638]

the BEST video EVER! Thank you!

[@randallpatrickc]

How do u fix a leak at the PvC joints where the PVC cement has failed?? Thanks!!!

[@teacherlynn671]

I see you don’t answer comments. But I have a valve that is over 20 years old. It is in a real bad place and tight piping to replace it. Do you think I could do a repair? I had two pros that never looked at it say to replace the valve. It is a three way valve that either bypasses or goes to a rooftop solar heater. When I shut the pump I get bad vibration noises from the valve??

[@Chowdown777]

getting ready to go from ball valves to a 3 way diverter valve what one should i get so that i can get rebuild parts for in the future thanks.

[@inyourpoolbusiness]

you should call a professional if you dont know the answer to that question sir

[@benkavanah8140]

40 yes in the business, they're just LAZY

[@inyourpoolbusiness]

It's so true. you can spot the good ones right away but they will only be with you for a year or two because they will and should be doing it on their own

[@thatsallfolks3115]

What do you use for a pvc joint repair?

[@inyourpoolbusiness]

you have to replumb a new fitting on there. It can be a pretty big job depending on which one is leaking

[@CourtesyPools]

I’ve used clear pvc cement

[@thatsallfolks3115]

Clear pvc cement sounds like a good idea.

[@kimquintero980]

Your comments where insulting. I'm a home owner and do all the work on my pool. I'm also disabled. We home owners are not incapable of doing this. I think the money you charge for this is outrageous.

[@inyourpoolbusiness]

what does being disabled have to do with anything??? If you're capable of doing all the work yourself then what are your doing here?

[@jlwolfe2112]

Sounds like you just look for things to be offended about. Very sad.

[@EdgeBauer]

What comments were insulting?! I thought the video was great. Exactly what I was looking for.

[@phxrt3608]

You make customers sound like moronic lazy asses.

[@frwjbeb25]

Basically saying to rip people off. I hate pool guys like this.

[@inyourpoolbusiness]

Yes I am absolutely saying charge for your experience and expertise and I will not be shy about it. If you try to do that repair yourself you will have to research it for 45 minutes (as evidenced by you being here watching this video), it'll take you another 10-20 minutes to order the correct parts not to mention you bugging the parts supply shop with questions on how to do it properly, It will then take you another 30- 45 minutes to complete the repair and you'll still probably screw it up. I can do it in 5 minutes with my eyes closed and the parts are already on my truck. I absolutely have NO problem for charging for my experience and knowledge. People like you think that pool guys are just stupid and replaceable and not real professional contractors. People like you piss me off and I would have cancelled your service 5 years ago.

[@frwjbeb25]

@@inyourpoolbusiness ​ You're comparing yourself to a plumber? Good lord. If you're so confident in your business and skills - post your business.

[@inyourpoolbusiness]

@@frwjbeb25 You literally just proved my point. You think pool guys are beneath you and apparently beneath plumbers too

[@JohnT.-vy7wp]

Got to say, people need to make money and charge base on their experience. There is a video providing how to make the repair, so if you want to do it yourself you can. He is being more than fair. The charge quoted for this repair was $75 service charge plus $20 for the o-rings. That seems reasonable, but if I want to save money then I can. It's not a rip off, if you charge to much, there are others that are willing to do it for less.

​@inyourpoolbusiness I've been in the pool business for 20 years, and I usually run from people like this guy. There are enough people out there who understand that skilled labor isn't cheap, and cheap labor isn't skilled.
