- 4 or 6 position valve combining the functionality of several valves into one unit, revolutionizing pool plumbing
- also called a rotary-type backwash valve; water from the pump can be diverted for various functions by merely turning the valve handle; the water may be sent to waste, used for backwashing, bypassing the filter for maximum circulation, for normal filtration, filtering to waste (rinse), or the valve may be closed to not pass water; the pump must be off before changing a valve setting
