Hello TFP!
I have 2 old metal valves that I was told not to touch as they may leak when moved. I think 1 goes to the return jets, and 1 to the aerator. Now that summer is here, I'd like to get the aerator working.
Questions:
* Can I replace these 2 with one 3 port Jandy valve, since there is a "T" fitting right above them?
* What size valve do I need, The bigger valve says 1 1/2" on it so I think that is what the PVC is, do I need to get a valve with 1 1/2" on all 3 sides?
* The smaller valve says 3/4", so I assume I'll just need to convert 3/4" to 1 1/2" before the Jandy valve?
* I noticed Jandy, Hayward, and Pentair all make diverter valves, is one better than others, does it really matter which brand?
Attached are the pics, let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks!
