Swimming Pool Valves from Top Brands
|
| Swimming pool valves are a key part of any spa or pool system. Just about every major manufacturer offers pool valves from Pentair to Hayward to Zodiac. There are a wide variety of pool valves made for specific tasks. Below we outline a few of the most common types of swimming pool valves. |
Types of Pool Valves
|
| Backwash Valve – A backwash valve is attached to a filter and enables you to reverse the water flow back through the filter in order to clear it of sand and debris.
|
| Diverter Valve – With a diverter valve you are able to direct water in a certain way. They typically have two or three ports and come in a wide variety of sizes and configurations.
|
| Check Valve – Check valves ensure that water is flowing in a single direction so that debris can be captured. The check valve should be inspected regularly to ensure that the check valve doesn’t back up and water can move freely.
|
| Ball Valves – This simple valve is used to turn pool water on and off.
|
| Pool Valve Actuators – If you have an automated pool system you’ll want to invest in a pool valve actuator. The pool valve actuator is connected to a diverter valve to allow pre-programmed, automated features to function without assistance.
