I have a combative toddler today and nothing I planned for the day worked out. Was suppose to get a call back for an internship but looks like I'll have to wait till monday.
This is the real reason Velcro was invented. Stick toddler to wall and wait'im out.

Got the rare visit from my father which chilled the kid out. Well, not so much chilled out but was turned into a happy toddler.

Long day at the office. Got a new sidejob lined up though! Fixing a valve and winterizing the lines. Some $200 for 2 hours of work. Not bad. :cool:

Not sure exactly. I get all my parts from a distributer. I imagine Amazon might have it. Or maybe try Leslie's. Some of the dirt backflowing on you?
Thanks neo, it's for the spa and solar. Leslie's and Amazon only sell the entire valve's internals. Whereas I only need the small flapper. The heat ruins the small plastic occlusive seal. Worse it pisses me off to pay $90. every year when all I need is the small flapper LOL. I was just hoping you might know of a parts house that sells them or even if they were offered separately!

If this is your check valve it doesn't look like the actual flapper part is offered separately from Jandy. Lid and flapper or bust unfortunately.
The pool industry likes to do stupid shit like that all the time. :cuss:

Only seen a couple Jandy systems so I could be wrong.

Edit: Sorry I'm high and forgot the picture..... :eyesmoke:

Yup that's it. The flapper slides off so wonderfully you'd think it was made to purchase by the bag LOL! Thanks that confirms what I feared. Pools are luxury items or so my pot likes to remind me.
