Pool Intake Valves

The Intake Side Valves

The valves are typically configured in a manifold on the suction side of the pump. When you have a pool spa combination, there is usually a three way valve which separates the pool suction from the spa suction.

The valves are used to control the flow of water from the pool. The particular setting of the valves depends on what is being done with the pool. The valves will be set differently when you are vacuuming or using the spa, for instance.
