    Yes, the Jandy would be a big improvement. Not only in the ease of turning but also the flow design. I replaced the old Hayward 3-way that joined my skimmer and main drain to the filter basket, and it solved my problem with losing prime. The water just flows more efficiently thru it.

    Most pool stores sell "Jack's Lube" or "Magic Lube". It's purpose is to make O rings seal well. It is supposedly safe for rubber, plastic, etc. I took off the fittings on our PVC ball valves and rubbed some on the ball part. Now they turn easily.
