OEM Pressure-Side Cleaner Back-Up Valve for Legend & Platinum
- Genuine Pentair OEM replacement back-up valve
- White E10 valve for compatible Legend and Platinum pressure-side cleaners
- Documented for Legend 3-Wheel and Legend 4-Wheel applications
- Fits Kreepy Krauly Legend and Legend Platinum cleaner families
- Pentair also lists E10 as a replacement cross-reference for Polaris G52
- Complete back-up valve assembly for the cleaner feed-hose system
The Pentair E10 Back-Up Valve is the genuine white replacement valve used in compatible Pentair and Kreepy Krauly Legend pressure-side cleaner feed-hose systems. Pentair’s cleaner-parts catalog identifies E10 as the back-up valve and shows it in the Legend 4-Wheel LL105 hose assembly. Current distributor data also documents E10 for Legend 3-Wheel, Legend 4-Wheel, Kreepy Krauly Legend, and Legend Platinum cleaners.
The back-up valve periodically redirects feed-water flow so the cleaner can pull away from steps, corners, walls, or other areas where it may become trapped. A worn or malfunctioning valve can reduce coverage even when the cleaner still has adequate pressure and movement.

Why the Back-Up Valve Matters
Pressure-side cleaners depend on proper feed-water delivery and periodic directional changes to cover the pool. The E10 valve sits in the feed-hose system and temporarily redirects water to create the cleaner’s back-up cycle. If the valve stops cycling, leaks excessively, or remains in back-up mode, the cleaner may spend too much time in one area, repeatedly get stuck, or lose normal forward cleaning time.

Installation & Service Notes
Turn off the pool circulation and booster-pump system before servicing the pressure-side cleaner. Remove pressure from the cleaner feed line, disconnect the existing back-up valve from the hose sections, and install the E10 in the same hose position. Follow the molded flow-direction orientation used by the original assembly and make sure the hose connections are secure. After restarting the system, check for leaks and verify that the cleaner operates normally and periodically enters its back-up cycle.
