Pentair Gear Set, Compool CVA-L24 Valve Actuator, Quantity 3

I noted my valve was skipping/clicking and diagnosed that these gears were damaged. Ordered these and they are the exact replacement needed. For those with a bit of mechanical savvy, it is fairly easy to open the actuator and replace these gears. Saved me the $400-$500 it would cost to replace the whole unit! These fit perfectly in the CVA-24T x 180deg Rotation actuator by Pentair.

Simple for most to repair. My Pentair Actuator CVA-24 263045 was barely able to move pool valve. It was making a loud grinding noise when moving. To access gears, you have to remove 4 screws to remove cover, 2 screws to dismount motor, 1 nut to remove switch and 6 screws to remove gear box cover. I hung the electronics off side of box. I had only 1 gear that was well worn, but I replaced and lubed all three. Just have to reverse order to put back together and you're done. Took about 30 minutes to complete repair and used only a phillips screwdriver and small pliers. For my repair, the Pentair pool valve (263028) also needed new O-rings since I noticed water inside on the bottom of the actuator box. Amazon sells O-rings cheap at $6.29 for a 5-pack. Also very easy to replace O-rings. In the end Actuator working like new and quiet again.

Great replacement

The gear teeth on my previous actuator wore down and stopped spinning. My pool guy quoted me $400 for a new actuator and installation. I bought these, took apart the old one, replaced the gears after lubing with grease, and it works like new. Try this before replacing yours if the motor is turning but the gears won’t. Just make sure you take pictures as you disassemble it so it goes back together the same way.

Would have given 5 stars but the packaging was lousy. Gears banging around loose. Fortunately they are inherently tough. Good kit to repair a valve actuator Pentair/Compool CVA-24. Installation a bit tricky. Need to completely disassemble the actuator. Beats $250 for new part. Top o-ring ($1 value) failed on unit allowing water to get in and corrode the gears. This kit completely replaces all gears.

These saved me from buying a new actuator. Couldn't find videos how to replace them, so just had to take it apart and eventually was fortunate.

Good replacement for worn gears. If you hear or see the gears skipping it is time to replace the gears. Not simple but doable if you are a DIY. Do not pinch wires when reassembling.

They fit perfectly in the pentair automatic actuator. Easy to install. Greased them up and it worked.
