Hayward PSV3SDGR PVC 3-Way Diverter Valve

3- extremely well constructed valve with a two-way diverter For me, the issue is that it does not fully support all flow configurations. Because the 90-degree or orthogonal entry opening can never be blocked, it either blocks one of the two inline entry openings or leaves all three open. I have a problem with this. Fortunately, for the other re-installation, I used a different three-way valve from a different manufacturer. I was able to control the flow of water using that valve because of the connection. So, thankfully, I included some redundancy and used a different valve. The other valve allows you to close any of the openings or leave all three open, which I believe is the best way to describe it. Aside from that, it's well-made and easier to maintain than other designs. I docked one star because of the reduced flexibility of use.

If you cut a small piece of plastic off the valve, you can install it in any orientation you want. If you have a key that fits a slot, cut it off and it will now fit however you want.

I wanted the in pipe to be on the side, but it's only set up for the water to come in the middle pipe and split left or right. I wanted the water to come in from the side so I could divert it straight or off to the left, making a 90 degree bend. But it works fine; all I had to do was rearrange a few piping connections.

The valve performs exactly as it should. The ability to re-create is appealing to me. To make the valve block the ports I want, I need to index it. I'm using it as a bypass valve and diverter for my new pool heater, and it's working great. It's set up to divert some or all of the water away from the heater when it's needed. I needed to turn off the water to the heater at one point, and with the filter running, I was able to do so while keeping the heater connected to the system. I also appreciate the fact that the handles can be locked in place. With PVC / CPVC glue, the valve was firmly attached to the PVC pipe, making my job easier.

  After something heavy fell on my previous three-way valve and cracked it, I needed to replace it on my pool system. This valve was purchased and set up by me. It claims to be rated up to 50 PSI, but my system is rated at 50 PSI. The pressure has gradually cracked the plastic, allowing water to spray out of the valve. At first, I mistook it for a simple O-. I lubed that up really well to make sure it wasn't just water escaping from the top, but it's been spraying water from the open diversion pipes ever since. Who knows how this performs on lower PSI systems, but its plastic frame does not withstand the PSI it claims to, so if you have a 50PSI system, I'd look elsewhere.

The item's quality appeals to me. Hayward is a top-of-the-line pool equipment manufacturer. I also purchased a new pump. Jandy is supposed to be the best, but they're all the same except for the name and cost about half as much. I got them in two days.

To reverse it, I had to undo all of the screws. I also used my Hayward pump with this. Since I installed the valve, the skimmer skimmer has been unable to gain pressure. The only thing that creates a seal is the silicone on the inside, so I'm pretty sure it's faulty.

Water is pushed through my 1HP pump to solar heater panels. It reverts to the waterfall function when I change positions. Nice.
