5/19/2012 -- Does the new spider gasket go in with the flat side or the ridged side facing up towards the cover?

3/7/2012 -- people have sugested i super glue the spider gasket in is this a good idea?

12/17/2010 -- Can you get this valve in a threaded version?

6/30/2010 -- I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS WITH MY SM-20-3 VALVE. WATER LEAKS PAST THE THE BACKWASH, HOUSING DEVELOPED LEAKING HAIRLINE CRACKS. THE SPRING ON THE HANDLE LOOSES TENSION NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES i'VE CHANGED THE SPRING AND SPYDER GASKET. IS THERE A BETTER 2" VALVE I COULD PURCHASE? IT IS A SIDE MOUNT WITH THE INLET AND OUTLETS ON THE REAR WITH THE FILTER CONNECTIONS ON THE R/S IF YOU ARE LOOKING AT IT FROM THE FRONT?

valve locked in filter position, cannot move. Also, losing water through discharge.
