Description

The Pentair MultiPort Valve Spring (SKU 271161) is a key durability part in your filtration system’s valve assembly. Over time, the factory spring in your Pentair HiFlow multiport valve can compress or weaken, resulting in poor handle feel, mis-indexing or even valve failure to shift. This genuine replacement spring restores the original performance, tightening the handle action and maintaining the precise mechanical interface between the handle, spring, and valve body. By replacing the spring before major wear or damage occurs, you preserve your valve’s integrity, maintain proper water flow, and extend the service life of associated components.

Pro Tip

Replace this spring during your next valve service interval, and while you’re at it, install the handle washer (SKU 271157) and the spring washer (SKU 271160) to fully restore original mechanical conditions and avoid future leak points or handle looseness.

Installation Tips

Turn off the pool pump and relieve system pressure before servicing the valve. Remove the handle and old spring, inspect the spring chamber for debris, install the new spring aligned properly, reassemble the handle with the retaining pin, then rotate the valve through all positions to confirm smooth action and correct indexing.
