Leaking Jandy valve

[waterbear]

Waste, just FYI, I googled 'jandy valve parts' and came up with several online retailers that sell the grease cap. It is pricey, however!

Thanks for the extra info, all! I'll try to investigate tomorrow morning and see what's what. Right now there's no "cap" at all - just a hole that doesn't even look to be threaded and some black plastic-looking stuff inside (it's hard to see with the constant flow of water). Maybe the black stuff is what's left of the old cap...in which case I'll need to extract that before inserting a new cap. More to come!

I have the same problem right now. There is black stuff in the hole but it is causing my water pressure to decrease. When I cover the hole with my finger the pressure goes up.

What should I do?

Fog, other than the valve, how're you doing - it's been a while-?
The imediate concern is to somehow plug the leak to prevent any damage to the system (sounds like it's a suction side valve). All my advice from EZ's ? still stands, tefloned screw, etc - including the fact that I have the replacement part sitting in front of me (EZ never took me up on my offer to send it to him, do you want it?). Or you can do the Google search that Evan gave and find one.

Good luck with it, if you need any other help, ask away!
