Thank you, Mike. One note on safety: After installing the valve, be sure to open the valve first then start the pump second. Bleed out all the air from the tank, then close the valve. There are cases where folks have been injured or killed when the lid of the tank blew off because the air was not bled out. At the same pressure, a filter tank full of air is more dangerous than a tank full of water. Air compresses and expands, but water doesn't, so you can have an explosive situation with compressed air.
Great advice!
THANKS SO MUCH!! SO GLAD I READ THIS, MIGHT LEAVE THIS TO POOL GUY AFTER ALL.
Thanksn
Thank you. This was very helpful. We replaced the gage at the start of the season. It hasn't been registering and this video confirmed my suspicions that it has not been installed properly. Nice work on this.
Thanks. I'm a widow taking care of our family pool. Now I feel able to fix my leaking valve!
Very helpful, thank you. Our pool company forgot our gauge, so I just bought a new one and installed myself.
Your Welcome-glad it helped you!
Great video. Tells you all you need to know about replacing filter gauge and valve. I ordered these parts on line, but of course there were no directions with product. Guess the company assumes the pool owner replaces this valve every day. Thanks to Mike Klimek
Thank you Mike! Exactly what I needed. Just changed mine after watching your video.
Sweet-glad it helped you!
nice video
Thank you sir just watched good video I’m ready to go. Clockwise on the Teflon tape ok i think I can get this done
Heck yes you can!
Thanks for this video. Very helpful to see a how-to rather than reading one. Can I ask a follow up question? You turned your pool pump off before doing this repair. Is turning it back on all that's necessary after the repair is done, or are their additional steps? We bought a house with a pool, and I'm scared to death to ruin something expensive with a rookie mistake. Thanks in advance for your response!
Was it leaking water, or air?
If the gauge happens to point the wrong way when tightened - is there a way to adjust without tightening or loosening?
Steve Colvin turn the lid around
If that is leaking air out would that cause bubbles to come out of my return lines?
If you have an air leak that is pushing air out, it wouldn't. If you have a suction leak, it would. For example if you have an air leak at the pot (basket), you would see air bubbles coming out of the jets.
@@MikeKlimek I replaced the lid to that basket and its still pushing bubbles out of the jets :-/
@@beckhamsfamilyjourney So somewhere there is air entering your system. Could be from a tiny crack somewhere, could be from a twisted or torn gasket. If you think it is coming from the pot, remove the gasket, clean all of the mating surfaces, and use a gasket lubricant so you can get good contact to at least eliminate that connection as a possible cause.
@@MikeKlimek man idk 🤦♀️ I change the valve and replaced two other gaskets that I didn't know about and lubricated everything. I guess I need to call a guy and have them check my lines to see where its leaking. Thank you so much for your help and advice 👍
@@beckhamsfamilyjourney Your'e welcome-that's a bummer though
Do I need to lube up the small o ring?
Yes it's a good idea, it helps prevent it from twisting or tearing
Whered u get the new valve and pressure gauge?
Any local pool store will have them...or online. Not sure where you are, but you can try Leslie's Pool Supply.
Do you need to turn everything off before replacing it
Yes!
If it leaks cant u just replace the o rings in the valve
Help my gauge cracked leaked and broke how Do I get the broken part stuck there out
You have to be careful not to damage any of the threads as they are plastic. I would us a tool called an E-Z out extractor and slowly back it out
@@MikeKlimek that is plastic though what exactly is the part called to order one, i asked home depot and they were clueless looking at me like deer in headlights. Im trying to do this myself as my plumber iuse to have moved to arizona and no longer live here in florida, sucks please help.
@@jflores24 This might work: www.homedepot.com/p/URREA-1-8-in-to-3-4-in-Pouch-Set-of-Spiral-Bolt-Extractors-Screws-5-Piece-9500B/202797902 or you could try this: www.homedepot.com/p/Orbit-1-2-in-and-3-4-in-Plastic-Nipple-Extractor-26076/100203404
where can i get those parts
At the time I got them at Leslie's Pool Supply, I'm sure you can get them at National Pool Supply or amazon
The thread broke on mine half in filter how do I take it out?
Take dome off and screw it from the inside. Mine came right out.
Hammer a knife into it a bit then unscrew
Where.can I get it
A pool store or online
Your video is helpful- however, below it I sawThe e-book entitled "7 Repairs my Mother Can Do": Wow, is that offensive and really sexist! What if she's an architect, welds, and furniture designer, plumber or electrician? I do all of those things myself... I teach drafting and architecture courses in college too. I've done framing and built many computers, do maintenance and repairs on my cars, repair major appliances, (including pool equipment, which is very pretty to repair!) Fortunately, I was always encouraged to do these things from the important men in my life, as well as male friends; I come from a long line of master mechanics on both sides of my family, so it's probably a genetic "gift" I inherited. :)
Gender is not a pre-requisite to beng mechanical or techy. (Genetics and being raised in a non-sexist culture that encourages people to do what they enjoy and are naturally good at, regardless of gender stereo-types, is what really determines this! ) Shame on you for promoting this sexist language. Please rethink posting this ebook! Thank you.

Ok Karen
Show me the twins
Hey, I just came here to learn how to replace my pressure gauge, but...thanks for posting, Suzanne - I agree with you...three years later!
As a male, I think that it's important for both men and women to call these kinds of things out, large or small - misogyny will only continue if no one says anything. I mean, it's been the shame of the world for how many thousands of years?
Speaking of shame, calling a woman a 'Karen' is also sexist and shaming, but don't let that stop you. Keep hitting 'em.
Sky is blue, water is wet, and men who have to do this have a 'size' problem. Everything that they say comes from that deficit.
Have I now sufficiently mansplained that to everyone? Never mind, I'm going to make my spouse a sammich.
