Jandy valve ... water getting past closed valve

[PoolDoc]

Without replacing the valve, I'm not sure either.

I *think* you can buy a new valve, take the guts out, and put them in the old valve. You might want to take your valve apart, and examine the body -- if it's OK, a 'guts' replacement would likely solve the problem. Picture from Jandy "Flash" parts catalog below; the catalog itself is here (as of 12 June 2011)

Thanks Ben. I "chatted" with Jandy's (Zodiac) Customer Service and they are sending a new diverter out under their never-lube valve warranty (valve is about 9 years old). No charge. Very impressed with there no hassle/no red tape approach. Thankfully we were on file. Hopefully that will take care of the problem.
