Hello everyone, first time poster AND pool owner here! :cool:

We've just moved into a newly built house and the pool was installed in March. We've had plenty of headaches along the way with getting things established but we're getting there. All the components of the pool are made by Pentair including the valves. We have two water features; a waterfall built into the seated area of the deep end of the pool and two Laminar deck jets.

There are two separate valves to control the water features but the one for the waterfall doesn't allow me to place the cam stops to prevent diverting almost all of the water to the waterfall. If I remove the handle from the top of the valve, I can see what the cam plugs stop against. Can this plate be rotated at all without impacting the functionality of the valve as it works today? All I'm trying to do is prevent the full pressure of the pump going directly to the waterfall feature by someone other than myself turning the valves.

Thanks, Gary
 
Thanks pcool69. I don't have the actuators on mine (yet) so this is still useful as they're on my "to do" list! I ended up removing the 8x screws around the plate that's visible after you remove the handle and rotated it 90 degrees. That put the stops of the plate within reach of the cam plugs so my valve only turns 90 degrees now. Pretty simple!
