Shutoff Valve problem (pics attached)

I am having a problem with one of the plunge-type shut off valves.

These valves were installed so that I could bypass the big blue filters but still have water to the house.

I also use the valves to shut the water to filters when the filters need to be changed.

But I am having a problem with the plunger not sealing completely.

When I close the plunger and then open the gate valve a the end to drain the big blue filter, you can still hear water getting by the plunger valve.

So I know it is not completely sealing....

Is there a way to fix these? How?

Thanks for the help.
