I have an A&A 6 port low profile control valve, I believe I have a problem with 1 of the ports being clogged. I want to remove all the poppers and open all the ports on the valve and use pool pump on high to clean out the plumbing. Is this possible?
A&A floor cleaners, need some help

Is the issue on one zone or multiple zones?
Is all return flow being sent to the IFCS?
Does the water distribution valve have T-valves or acrylic balls below the gearset?
If you were to open all T-valves or remove all acrylic balls at the same time, the water flow to each zone will be reduced as all 6 ports will be open.
You can remove popups one at a time on each zone and allow the system to cycle thru each zone. Be sure to lube the popup O-rings with pool lube before reinstalling the popup. With the pump on its highest speed, smaller debris will exit the removed popup pipe.
