Swimming Pool Selector Valve Replacement Parts: Maximum Efficiency and Durability for your System

At Quimipool, we are committed to preventive maintenance as the best strategy to ensure the proper functioning of the selector valves and avoid problems in the pool filtration system. Proper care not only prolongs the life of the components, but also optimizes maintenance costs and avoids major problems.

why choose original spare parts for selector valves?

Choosing original spare parts brings key advantages such as:

• Maximum compatibility: Perfect fit and guaranteed operation with your selector valve.
• Increased operating efficiency: Quickly restores optimum water filtration and circulation capacity.
• Durability and resistance: Manufactured with quality materials that resist chemical and mechanical wear.
• Maintenance savings: Significantly reduce time and money spent on major repairs.

how do selector valves and their spare parts work?

The selector valve controls the flow of water to different functions of the filtration system (filtration, flushing, rinsing, recirculation, emptying or shut-off). Spare parts ensure that this selection and operation is performed without leaks and with the right pressure, guaranteeing a constant and efficient performance.

Main features of the spare parts for selector valves

• Star" type gaskets: Essential to maintain internal sealing, preventing leakage and ensuring a tight seal when changing functions. It is placed between the bell and the base of the valve.
• Selector handles: Facilitate comfortable and safe handling when changing valve functions. Made of reinforced plastic.
• Springs: Provide the necessary tension for correct operation. They allow the different valve positions to remain firm and ensure a tight seal when changing functions. They are generally made of stainless steel to resist corrosion and wear caused by exposure to water and chemicals.
• Bell: Internal part that allows the water to be redirected, making it possible to achieve the positions that a selector valve has.
• Transparent viewers: They allow to visualize the water that we take to drain.
• Screws, springs and accessories: They guarantee the stability and safe fixing of the valve, essential for a smooth and safe operation.

Detailed comparison between common spare parts

Buying Guide: What is the best replacement for you?

This part is in charge of directing the water flow in different functions, such as filtration, washing, rinsing or emptying. Therefore, a bad choice can cause compatibility and installation problems.

Compatibility with your filter: Make and Model

The first key point is to buy the same brand and model of the selector valve you already have installed. This will avoid compatibility problems and installation modifications, which could generate additional costs

Connection type: Side or top

Selector valves can have two types of connection to the filter:

• Side selector valve: it is installed on the side of the filter, connected by piping. It is the most common model in large capacity filters.
• Top selector valve: It is attached to the top of the filter. It is usually found in compact systems and small pools.

Each manufacturer designs its valves with specific characteristics, such as the connection diameter or the arrangement of the water inlets and outlets. Therefore, if you need a replacement, the ideal is to opt for a valve identical to the one you already use.

Connection diameter

• Selector valves are manufactured in different connection diameters to adapt to different piping systems. The most common are: 1" 1/2 Inch: For small and medium size pools.
• 2 "Inches: For larger pools or installations with powerful pumps.

It is essential to make sure that the diameter of the new valve matches the diameter of the existing installation.
