Frequently Asked Questions

The best pool valves depend on your plumbing setup and desired level of control:

  • Jandy NeverLube 3-way valves are highly popular for durability and smooth operation.
  • Pentair diverter valves are ideal for integrated automation systems.
  • Hayward multiport filter valves are industry standards for backwash and filtration control.
  • PVC ball valves are cost-effective for simple above-ground setups.
    For long-term reliability, choose valves with Teflon seals, corrosion-resistant hardware, and serviceable internals.

Pool valve positions depend on the function you’re performing:

  • Normal circulation: Skimmer and main drain valves open, waste valve closed.
  • Spa mode: Spa suction and return valves open, pool return closed.
  • Backwashing (multiport valve): Rotate handle to “Backwash” and run for 2–3 minutes.
  • Draining: Waste valve open, returns closed.
    Always ensure pumps are off before changing valve positions to avoid pressure surges or equipment damage.

  • Ball valves provide simple on/off flow control - ideal for single lines.
  • Diverter valves allow flow direction adjustment between multiple lines (e.g., pool/spa combo).

A 3-way diverter valve can send water to one or both lines, making it essential for flexible control in complex plumbing setups.

Pool check valves prevent water from flowing backward into equipment, protecting pumps, filters, and heaters.
They are crucial in systems with:

  • Elevated spa spillovers (to stop draining when the pump turns off).
  • Solar heating systems (to prevent back-siphoning).
  • Chemical feeders or salt systems (to avoid backflow contamination).

Choose spring-loaded or flapper-style check valves based on flow rate and pressure needs.

No - always use pool-rated PVC or CPVC valves.
Standard plumbing valves aren’t designed to handle:

  • High chlorine exposure.
  • Constant water pressure.
  • Outdoor UV and temperature variations.

Pool-grade valves are built for chemical resistance and long-term reliability under constant water flow.

Signs your pool valve may need replacement include:

  • Leaking or dripping around the handle or housing.
  • Stiff or seized handles that won’t turn.
  • Internal leaks (water still flows when valve is “closed”).
  • Air bubbles in the pump basket caused by suction-side leaks.

If lubricating or replacing internal seals doesn’t help, a full valve replacement is recommended.
