Home Made "O" Rings?
I know this is off-topic but you folks are very clever and may have a
solution. My swimming pool sand filter is 30 years old. Parts no longer available. The valve has begun to leak from a "spider" gasket - basically an 8 inch "O" ring and a "1 inch "O" ring connected by 3 radials [which separate rinse/filter/backwash chambers]. The gasket must allow the valve body to rotate to the three positions so I doubt anything as simple as silicone caulk would work. No comparable part available AFAIK. Replacing the sand filter would not only be pricey, but labor intensive. Does any one have experience making [or piecing together] such a gasket? Or a link that might help? Thanks for any wisdom. -- Remove -NOSPAM- to contact me. |
