Hi All,
Has anyone replaced the backflow preventor where the fresh water supply hose attaches? I can't get it apart to install a new one. I have attached pictures of the front and back of the housing. Here's the sad part, I did replace this item in 2016 when I pushed the valve (white part in the middle) while the system was under pressure. I just cant figure it out this time.
Alternatively, could I purchase an in-line one that might be easier to install?
Cheers
Mike
Is that blue part inside a large plastic c-clip? Does removing it help?
No, there are two pieces of plastic that ar meant to keep that brass part from spinning. I did fix this by punching out the broken backflow preventer and adding a new one (much better) and a barbed fitting. It's quite long but it all fits nicely inside the pump closet. Thanks for responding Merlin. Here's picture of the final result.
