I looked and it is missing the valve check on the spray assembly base. Should I replace this valve or replace the entire spray arm assembly? Also, does a new spray arm assembly include the valve? And how do I replace either part?

Make sure the pop up tower (on the bottom of the picture) is not broken off and all holes in the spray arm are not blocked. Post the results. Gene.
