Anybody ever use a 2” irrigation valve after the Jandy 3way valve to control flow to a water feature.

I have an Intellipro VSP that when it’s on a low speed, the water just dribbles out. I want to connect the Irrigation valve to a smart switch to open the valve at the corresponding time when the timer pump automatically switches to a higher rpm.

Don’t want to spend the $$ on a WiFi panel. Problems, suggestions, thoughts? All are welcome
 
Welcome aboard J! I've used them in several places. They're like the watch "they take a beating and keep on ticking" . They're dirt cheap and available at any big box store. There are many ways to accomplish this and many are dirt cheap to install if you are moderate DIY competent. Nicest thing about them is they are landscaping outdoor robust and since there's nothing "pool" in the name they're dirt cheap. Of course there are a few limitations so for limited use they can improve operation a lot at low cost!
