I would try to use "Jandy" type Valves. I personally use the Jandy 2.5" x 3" Never Lube. Praher (I think that's how you spell it) is a really cost effective, good quality valve. I use Jandy only for the name. My competition is completely unable to s…

David, I hear you. I never considered offering ball valves as an option until I came across some photos of equipment sets I saw in California. The PVC was painted tan and they used ball valves. BUT, I had to replace one on my dime several months ago…

I am not aware of the plumbing detail you are talking about? Can you enlighten me where this is from please. I have always plumbed my MD lines to the skimmer. When you have a long run to the equipment and are running 3" MD line, it does start to ge…

I just came from a repair with pool equipment below the pool and ball valves. The valve was not frozen, but it was so tight that it snapped the handle off, and I had to go back out to the truck to get my large channel locks. I hate ball valves. The…
