Selector valves Astralpool Flat 

Astralpool Flat selector valves represent a significant advance in pool filtration technology. Unlike traditional two-tier valves, the Flat valve's single-tier design not only reduces size, but also improves efficiency. This innovation is especially valuable in confined spaces, such as cabins or monoblocs, where every inch counts. The versatility of the Flat valve ensures optimal performance even in compact areas, allowing a more adaptable installation to the specific needs of each project. With Flat selector valves, Astralpool continues to lead the way in terms of quality and functionality in the field of swimming pool filtration.

Selector valve functions

• Filtration: normal operating position of the filtering machine (Pump - Valve - Filter - Return).
• Washing: used to wash the sand or glass filter (Pump - Valve - Filter (reverse direction) - Drain).
• Rinsing: it is always done after washing the filter (Pump - Valve - Filter - Drain).
• Recirculation: the water does not pass through the filter, it is used when you want to move the water but it does not pass through the filter because it is very dirty or because you want to distribute the product throughout the pool (Pump - Valve - Return).
• Empty: the pool water goes directly to the drain without passing through the filter (Pump - Valve - Drain).
• Closed: used to close the purifier circuit and this position is used in winter or for cleaning processes. No circulation. Never activate the pump in this position. 

Recommendations 

• To avoid water hammer, change the position of the selector valve with the pump disconnected.
• Do not use liquid Teflon in the connections. Use Teflon tape or flat gasket.
