Before I ask my question, I must say this is a fabulous site for information on operating a pool. We just purchased a home with an indoor pool (16x32 concrete) and from not knowing anything about running a pool before, I managed to bring down the pH from 8.2+ to 7.6, clear up a bit of algae, figure out how to backwash, clean a pump filter, and other misc. items with almost nothing puchased at a pool store. Thanks everyone for all the valuable information.

My question is concerning a sourcing a replacement part for my system. I have been searching for a replacement diverter assembly for an old Compool Y style valve that is used to switch between a spa and the pool. The diverter handle was broken due to inadequate maintenance by the previous owners. It would be tricky to replace the whole valve due to a tight piping location. Pentair bought Compool and this valve has been discontinued. The replacement parts are still listed on some web sites but when I contact the stores, they say the parts are no langer available to order. Would anyone here know of any stocking parts sources that may still have one sitting on a shelf?

The specific part I am looking for is listed as:
Part Number: DIV-25F under PacFab or 270093 under Pentair
Description: Maintenance-Free Div. Assy. For FRE-2Y, PTV-2Y and PRO-3 Valves

Any leads that people might have would be appreciated.

Thank you

I am sorry to tell you, but those parts are no longer made. You would have to replace it with a new vlv.

I was suspecting the parts were no longer made but it is nice to have the confirmation. I was hoping that someone might know a parts outlet that may still have some old stock on the shelves. I know this is a longshot but it sure would save a bit of tricky work for me.

Unfortunately, pool1 does not have stock either. It was worth a shot though.
