Pentair Sta-Rite 2 in ABS 6-Position Multiport Valve with Unions 18201-0200
Replace a worn or leaking side-mount backwash valve on a Sta-Rite System 3 filter with the genuine Pentair Sta-Rite 18201-0200 multiport valve. This 6-position ABS valve comes pre-plumbed with 2 in union connections and connecting pipe, so the filter-to-valve hookup is made with the unions rather than new glued plumbing.
🚩 PRO TIP: Always turn the pump off before moving the handle between positions, and press the handle fully down before rotating it — turning the dial under pressure damages the internal gasket and causes leaks between ports. Match the union spacing to your System 3 filter before tightening the union nuts.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:
- Which filters does the Pentair Sta-Rite 18201-0200 multiport valve fit? The Pentair Sta-Rite 18201-0200 fits Sta-Rite System 3 D.E. SD filters (S7D75 and S8D110), System 3 Sand SS filters (S7S50 and S8S70), and Sta-Rite DEP and DES series filters, using 2 in side-mount plumbing.
- Does the 18201-0200 valve include the unions and piping? Yes — the Pentair Sta-Rite 18201-0200 is the version with union connections and connecting pipe included, so it joins the filter without gluing new pipe to the valve body.
- My old valve leaks water between positions — will the 18201-0200 fix it? A multiport valve that leaks between ports or out the waste line usually has a worn internal diverter gasket; replacing the complete valve with the Pentair Sta-Rite 18201-0200 restores a positive seal between ports.
