The valves (Jandy) have O-rings. Replace those O-rings that drip,
suck air or are damaged. Just a replacement part at a pool shop. Lube
the new rings when you install them. That should stop leaks.
Thanks for the advice.
I think, almost every valve is leaking.
So, I'll take one apart (it has large #3 phillips screws on top) and take a
look at these o-rings. I've never taken it apart before.
Luckily there are multiple pool-supply stores within a 20-mile radius, so,
I should be able to find parts in stock.
Before you pull the valves apart. make a small "scratch" mark on the
valve body and the valve handle. Use the mark when you put them back
together -- an alignment.
