valves

first off, thanks to all of the members and contributors to this forum! we're brand new pool owners with no experience managing a pool and the articles and forum topics that i've read so far have been really informative and helpful....now on to my first (and definitely not last :)) question...

I'm replumbing my equipment pad myself in two stages. First I'll replace the pump and filter, and I will make significant changes to the routing of all the plumbing at the pad; second I will add an IntelliCenter automation controller. What valves should I install if automation is imminently in...

Hello the board: My wife and I recently purchased our 1st and last pool home! It has been a learning experience to say the least and no amount of reading can prepare you for the onslaught of data! With that said we are still 100% happy we took the plunge and are eager to learn everything that...

I have a combo pool/spa controlled by a Pentair Intellitouch. The actuators for suction and return are both seized. The indoor control panel is gone. I have replaced the actuators and set the cams so that the suction goes to spa with return on spa. Also the valves go to pool suction with return...

I have 2 drains in my pool and 1 skimmer. I want to shut the drains so I can run the vacuum through the skimmer w/maximum suction. I believe the answer is in at least 1 of these valves. It seems that probably at least one of these valves in the attachment will do it. I thought maybe the Pentair...

Has anyone used the large size Jandy diverter valves (4718/4719). I don’t see them mentioned anywhere. I have 3” piping and two 3hp pumps for my infinity edge and need new shutoff valves. One pump has an old Praher gate valve that leaks due to an old cracked gasket and the other has PVC ball...

The title says it all: I'm very stressed about my inground pool/spa combo (spa is attached), given that it's likely we'll set an all time low temp for the area overnight tomorrow. I'm running both main and aux pumps continuously (have freeze protection enabled), but have a question regarding...

My Jandy actuators have broken and I’m trying to figure out how to manually move the valves but need some help identifying the pipes. The handles on the valves have also broken but hopefully you can tell where they’d normally be in these pictures. Is it possible to tell just from these...

Hi! I'm sending these pictures because I have leaks between filter and pump fitting and out of the ball valve I put on drain. I don't know if I have the correct fittings in the right places since the diagrams are so useless. I don't have any help and contacted Hayward but they haven't gotten...

We have a new Pentair EasyTouch controller with a Leisure Pools Pool/Spa combo. It's plumbed so it can either be in Pool mode or Spa mode. I've noticed the control unit keeps switching the valves back and forth from Pool to Spa about every 20 minutes. There are no schedules set and no egg...
