Over repeated seasons, the keyed connection can round off or the handle itself can crack from UV exposure and cold-weather brittleness, leaving the valve difficult or impossible to turn by hand. Replacing just the handle is a low-cost fix when the rest of the valve assembly still seals properly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCompatible With\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePondMax PF4800 and PF7200 Pressure Filters\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFunction\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eManually operates the internal backwash valve\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMaterial\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUV-stabilized plastic\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to Use\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShut off the pump before servicing.
