    I have a foot valve that is leaking, but don't know the manufacturer to get parts. The one that is leaking is actually in the water but looks identical to the one pictured except bigger. I'm thinking they are sure flo foot valves. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I just repair my own when they leak. Nice thick rubber a sharp razor blade and a sharp aerification tine for the corners and you can make your own new gasket. Just use the old one as a template.

    I have a feeling it's not the gasket, but won't know for sure until I take it apart. Unfortunately the make and model of each valve is no longer legible. These valves have two brass pieces that come together with a gasket to seal. The valve that is pictured needs one of the brass pieces, but I hung onto it for a couple of spare parts.

    Foot valves are relatively cheap compared to the time and labor to pull the intake to replace it. Instead of repairing, I'd replace with new as long as I'm paying for everything to pull the old one out. Then, you can hopefully rebuild the old one and have it on the shelf as a spare.
