A related question... If the pop-up cycle is finished and you turn the knob down (to pause -- if that's what down means), does this effectively disable the pop-up system ?

Thx for the info ! While searching the web yesterday I saw this knob refered to as a "speed control". And I thought "speed of WHAT... water thru the popup? Speed of the pop-up cycle ? Speed of light ? What ?". Apparently speed of cycle is close. I guess pointing up means quickest cycle (?)...

I've got a popup cleaner that came with pool. I wouldn't mind disabling it, but first I'd like to understand it better. What does this little rotating black control do ? TIA !

Thanks James. Some liquid has been spilled on that surface and petrified over its 20 year life. So reading is really not that easy. The shrouding around the handle is gone too. It probably guided the turning process.

The soap idea was interesting. I maybe could make out "open ' and "lock". Or wishful thinking. But no pointer to show which corresponded to what angle (!?) My previous pool had the same basic valve but a pointer to show current orientation. I guess I'll call the guys that did the pool...

Yes pentair. I found the manual but it says nothing about turning (CCW ? degrees?), and nothing about lock/unlock. The cotter pin is always visible AFAICT. If I were to push down, it appears as though there is only 2 inch of travel available. The whole thing seems fragile so I hesitate to push...

I just bought a house and this is the back wash valve on the pool. It looks like a simple rotate to unlock / pull up /rotate to lock/ backwash / etc. valve. But I'm not sure. It has no markings of any kind. No "Lock" "Unlock" positions... no manufacturer info... nothing. Can someone tell me...
