OK,
So I Vacuum the pool and the next day it looks like I never touched it. Little pockets of brown all over the place. After reading threads here I’m suspicious that the spider gasket is bad. Problem is, in the parts diagrams, they do not show the valve assembly apart or list the gasket. I really don’t want to spend 100 bucks on a new valve.

Anyone know if you can get the gasket for the Hayward 142?
