2 Pack Pool Valve Actuator Micro Switch Replacement for Pentair Compool CVA 24 Product Name

Our pool waterfall stopped working. We had a pool service come out and tell us we needed a new actuator-a few hundred dollars. We researched online and found that the (two) microswitches often break. We replaced the microswitches with these and we now have a waterfall flowing again! Also, very easy to install. Saved a LOT of money, too.

This product saved me $200 after my CVA24 valve wouldn't move out of the open position. I thought I'd need a new unit. After seeing a short YouTube video that the micro switch is usually the issue, I found this product here on Amazon. And the best part - was able to get it the next day and easy to install. Highly recommend if you run into the same situation as I did with my CVA24 valve unit.

You can probably find them cheaper somewhere else. However I was being charged $310.00 to replace a pentair actuator. I saw it online for $200, and for $16 these two pieces got my actuator to work.

Quick shipping, and item was received with no damage. Almost perfect to the original switch with one exception...the connector prongs are longer than the original, so you need to connect wires on one switch before installing. Also you'll need to route wires in order to clear the cover for closing...a minor issue but necessary. Otherwise this was a simple, 5 minute job.

When your pool service says you need to buy a new valve for $350!!!, check the your limit switch’s! If you can operate a screwdriver you got it. Take all of 10 minutes to accomplish. If one switch is bad the other will probably go bad soon so replace both. Once replaced buy another to have on hand record the date on container of the switch when it was replaced or other method like in your cell phone calendar.At same time replace the three O Rings in the valve even if the appear to be OK, they deteriorate and loose their resilience.There is a video on YouTube that you can review prior to taking on the task. It will also show you how to test the valve and switch. Remember the orientation of the manual override three position switch on the side of the valve.Net result 30 minutes of time = $300+ savings!EZ Fix!

Used this on a CVA valve actuator for my pool. Actuator was going in circles. This is a really easy, cheap fix. Just turn off the power, remove the handle, remove 4 screws on the cover, and the micro switches are both right there. Simply remove, re-connect the wires just like you took them off.

Easy to install and well worth the price if this revives my old pool valve. Can't tell if it works since I paid to have a new valve installed. Keeping the old valve with new micro switch installed as a possible spare. Certainly the price is right for the micro switches.It happened again several years after having the pool tech come out and replacing the whole valve with a new one at a cost of almost $300. This time I was ready so I installed my old valve with the new micro switches and voila, it worked fine! Apparently this is a weak point with this pool valve and for $13 worth of micro switches, it's a no brainer to try the switches first before calling out the pool tech. If you're at all handy with your hands, it's worth the gamble that a micro switch change will cure your problem. Even if something else is the problem, it's still worth it to purchase a new valve and try fixing it yourself before calling a tech. You'll end up with a spare valve at worst but it'll come in handy should a valve ever go bad again.

You don’t have to be a pro, not to be handy enough but those small parts will definitely save you hundred of bucks money! It is working well and happy with my pool and waterfall back to running again!
