Hayward SP0715X62 Pro-Series Vari-Flo Control Valve with Gauge

I replaced my old one with this item 4 years ago and realized I had not left a review. It works perfectly. Fit was exactly as the original and after four years, it’s still working perfectly, I have had no problems whatsoever..

Works perfectly

Excellent product, it was a direct replacement for my existant old part. Always use best replacement not generic

Replaced old valve perfectly with improvements. This valve does have a sight glass for backwashing and also comes with a pressure gauge, which isn't pictured in product image but listed in product detail. The valve lever is way easier to adjust than the older version it's replacing (SP-715-A 8). This valve is made for sand filters.

I installed this Hayward valve to my Hayward sand filter but, couldn't stop the top connection from leaking. I ended up sending the valve back to the seller, through Amazon's return service, and was refunded my money back.Sincerely,Roland R. Albert

Extremely dissatisfied. Bought this product thinking it would be a nice and easy upgrade for my pool. Installing it was simple but when I went to turn on the pool pump, it turns out hayward decided to switch everything around so in reality where it says filter it was acutally backwash. I have a valve on my backwash so nothing crawls in because it goes through our ground and out to our lawn and it was closed and when I put the hayward valve on filter(actually backwash) it blew up my pipes and now my hayward valve is leaking. Trying to contact warranty, no one is answering.

Used one season, no problems!

I have not put water through it because the season is over and pool is closed for the winter. Time will tell if I have no leaks in the product or not. My last one was a pin hole leak that just started the past season, might have been a fine crack it was hard to tell but that was disappointing.
