Little hard to get retaining clips off but new bypass valve fixed the leak. I would recommend getting new retaining clips

Dry easy to install
December 13, 2018

The original valve was showing sun damage and before it failed I ordered a ne one. Installing it was easy. Make sure you have depleted your salt tank to allow easy moving of the tank.

Use plumbers tape to prevent leaks.
August 08, 2018

The instructions do not mention using white plumbers tape around the two pieces when you connect them. After I use the tape, and reconnected the pieces it no longer late. So my vice is to use the white tape when you connect the parts.
