Hayward top-mounted multiport six-way valve for sand filter, 2"

The Hayward top-mounted multiport six-way valve is a crucial component for sand filters, designed to simplify and optimize pool or spa maintenance. This versatile valve offers six different positions to efficiently control the flow of water:

• Filter: In this position, water is directed through the sand bed, trapping debris and impurities, ensuring clean water circulation.
• Backwash: During backwashing, water flows in the opposite direction, dislodging trapped particles from the sand and flushing them out of the filter.
• Rinse: After backwashing, the valve can be set to rinse mode, which helps settle the sand bed and remove any remaining debris before returning to normal filtration.
• Recirculate: If needed, water can be bypassed from the filter and returned directly to the pool without passing through the sand bed. This is useful for temporary water circulation without filtration.
• Waste/Drain: For lowering the water level or removing excessively dirty water from the pool, this setting allows water to bypass the filter entirely.
• Closed: In this position, the flow of water to and from the filter is shut off, useful for maintenance or repair work.

The Hayward side-mounted multiport valve is user-friendly, durable, and offers precise control over your filter system. Regularly using its various settings ensures optimal filtration, maintaining a sparkling clean pool or spa for your enjoyment.
