Benefits
The Caretaker 5-Port Water Valve Rebuild Kit helps bring an existing water valve back into proper working condition. When internal parts wear out, the valve may stop cycling correctly, which can cause poor water distribution, weak cleaning zones, or cleaning heads that do not pop up properly.
Replacing the rebuild components can help restore correct water flow sequencing and improve the performance of the in-floor cleaning system without replacing the full valve body.

Installation Note
Turn off the pool pump and relieve system pressure before servicing the water valve. Inspect the valve lid, o-ring, gear assembly, base, and internal parts before installing the rebuild kit. Professional installation is recommended if the system has multiple zones, complex plumbing, or unknown valve condition.
