the chemical pump or if flow problems occur in the
chemical system:
1. Remove the check valve. Be sure the small o-
ring for the seat comes out with the check valve.
2. Remove the seat, using a 5/16" Allen wrench.
3. Check the Teflon seat for debris or wear. Clean
or replace Teflon seat if needed.
4. Clean the poppet and spring, inspect for wear or
damage, and replace as needed.
5. Re-assemble the check valve. Start the seat by
hand, tighten using a 5/16" Allen wrench. DO
NOT over-tighten seat.

check valves. To replace the diaphragm, unscrew
the cover from the body. When replacing the
diaphragm, lubricate the outer edges of the
diaphragm with o-ring lubricant Part # 86265430 –
PRV NO. 05-008035 and reassemble. To replace
the check valves, unscrew the check valve caps.
Replace the check valves and reassemble, using
new o-rings.
DO NOT attempt to re-use o-rings once the check
valves have been removed. See the “Illustrated
