    Sorry, I don't know anything about "Starbright" filters, and without seeing a parts list I don't know.

    The o-ring where the valve body connects to the filter was broken. I replaced it. That helped some. It runs longer before losing power. Still not right though.

    I found a hairline crack in the multi-valve top. Put some JB Weld on it. Working fine now.

    Thanks.
