    Spa Valve Identification

    I have an older spa and Im trying to identify this valve. Its from a Coleman/Maxx spa and it goes to the neck jets I believe. I'm not sure if I can just buy the top portion or do I need to replace the entire fitting. I just cant tell if the internal piece is missing or its broken off.

    Just got a 2 speed motor would like to wire it to run at low

    Anyone have a link to a diagram to what connections I need to make with my old cord to have this new pump run at the low speed only. Only reason I'm doing this is because I have no use for the high speed until the end of summer when I get my skimmer fixed.
