Pool filter 6-way selector valves

Why This Specific Product Stands Out

AstralPool multiport valves are designed around the operator. The handle geometry, internal distributor, and sealing system work together to reduce effort and avoid incorrect positioning. The range covers residential pools, commercial installations, compact filter rooms, and large public systems through four distinct families, New Generation, Classic, Flat, and Magnum. Each series answers a specific installation need without compromising reliability.

• Six clearly defined functions, filtration, backwash, rinse, recirculation, emptying, and closed.
• Up to five connection alternatives to match real world pipe layouts.
• Low internal friction to reduce wear and pressure loss.
• Materials selected for chemical resistance and long service life.

Technical Excellence and Build Quality

Materials and Construction

• Valve body, cover, and handle in injection molded ABS.
• Internal distributor plate in PPO for dimensional stability.
• Star gasket in EPDM to prevent dirt accumulation and ensure sealing.
• Sight glass in polycarbonate for visual inspection.
• Stainless steel springs and metal components for corrosion resistance.

Performance Specs

• Six position manual selector.
• Maximum working pressure up to 3.5 bar depending on series.
• Connection sizes from 1 1/2 inch to 4 inch.
• Designed for controlled head loss during filtration and backwash cycles.
• Available with threaded or slip connections, BSP or NPT.

Compliance and Safety

• Designed for swimming pool filtration circuits.
• Materials compatible with standard pool disinfectants.
• Operational safety based on manual pump off switching during position change.

Getting the Best Results

Correct use preserves both the valve and the filtration system. Always stop the pump before moving the selector handle. This avoids hydraulic shock and internal damage.

• Do stop the pump before every position change.
• Do use PTFE tape or flat gaskets on threaded connections.
• Do rinse after every backwash cycle before returning to filtration.
• Do not run the pump in closed position.
• Do not use liquid Teflon on threaded joints.

Common Questions

Is this valve suitable for my existing filter?
Yes, the range covers top and side mount configurations with multiple connection variants. Matching diameter and connection type is essential.

What happens if the valve is turned with the pump running?
This risks damaging the internal gasket and distributor. Always stop the pump first.

Which series should I choose?
New Generation suits most residential pools, Flat suits tight spaces, Classic fits standard upgrades, and Magnum is intended for high flow commercial systems.

Can it handle high pressure installations?
Magnum models are specifically designed for higher flows and larger filters.
