    Does anyone know if there is a way to set a Pentair 3 Way Valve in a fixed position? I have a valve that adjusts the flow between my waterfalls and the sunstep bubblers and I would like to insure that nobody moves the valve. (I 'm familiar with the stopping pins - but that seems to provide a...
