I just found a small crack right where the water intake pipe goes into the valve. I figure I will have to get a new one but until then I have put a circular metal clamp over it, is this ok to do??

Re: Crack in multi port valve
You should be fine smoovie... As long as its not leaking... But even if it was leaking you can probably stop a severe leak with putting a clamp and piece of rubber of some sort around the crack..
Hope this helps..
Of course a new valve is in order...

You could try some pool epoxy and then the clamp. It will probably still leak but should slow it down significantly. Replacement is best.
