What Is A Water Valve - Paramount Fitness PCC2000 Owner's Manual

WHAT IS A WATER VALVE?

The Paramount water valve is fully
automatic and operates whenever the
pump it's connected to is running.
Your Paramount Water Valve may be
connected to your filter pump or a
stand-alone "booster" pump.
The water valve automatically distrib-
utes water to different areas of your
pool, which can include the floor, steps, benches, spa and
water features. It cycles much like an automatic sprinkler sys-
tem in your yard switching from one circuit to another (Figure
1 shows the combination of water valves). Every water valve
has a center port. This is where the water enters the valve.
You will have a 2-port, 3-port, 6-port, 9-port or 12-port system
depending on the design of your pool. The port count of the
water valve indicates the number of circuits that send water
back to your pool or to another water valve. Cleaning nozzles
or returns are placed at the end of the circuits.
