FibroPool 3-Way Pool Diverter Valve - Posi-Close Slip - 2 in - CPVC

I would of gave it more stars but 5 isthe limit and i did have one compliant. Though how i was running it, i would of had to change it even if it was assembled in what i would consider the proper position. It was shipped where the close position didn't close anything and was on the rounded side with no outlet, should of been on inlet spot. Though u don't need to actually put inlet line in that spot, as I ran mine so one line would run strait to on line and 90* to the other. But was positioning was extremely easy to change, 8 or 10 bolts. Needed to split my line going to pool jets and waterfall into pool so only one operates at once. My old set up was bulky, and with me converting to salt and adding a new piece of equipment space was limited in my enclosed slab. So my original set up was, from pool filter it want into a t, then 90* off each with both lines coming off having ball valves, which I had to shut one off and turn the other one on. So this set made it great cause I only had 1 t ball valve to do the same as 2, which are bulky. Making it hard to do my salt converter in my pad it sits on. This made it where it went strait into my salt chlorinator, without having to use a 90* or a bulky ball valve, which literally saved me about 6 inches, which allowed it to fit on slab. Couldn't be more happier. Package came on time, though it just got installed today, unit to seems very good quality. My one true complaint, I have always hated plastic on plastic gears. Whoch this has to turn handle. They should of went with a better design on that, cause when it's plastic on plastic teeth, they do eventually wear.Thankfully I will only have to use the handle once every week of 2 to clean my pool, otherwise I circulate my water through my water fall. But I give it a great rating for Rapid delivery Quality Space saving vs not using one Convenience of having 1 valve handle vs 2 Price It is highly recommended

UPDATE: I changed the 3 star rating to 5. Seems the previously reported drip was temporary. Will update as needed. ORIGINAL REVIEW: I'd managed quite well without a waste valve on our pool pump for 15 years, ever through two storms. But this spring it'd gotten the better of me when I couldn't clear the water and decided to use drop out for the first time. Having read it's best to vacuum resulting sediment to waste, I bought and installed this valve. Installation was rather straightforward, one only needing to pay attention to direction of water flow. As per the instruction sheet, you have to snip off a small tab on the underside of the lever so that you can rotate the lever 180 degrees upward (as shown in the first photo). If you don't the third port remains open (lever in the down position) sucking air into your system. Rotate the lever to the right (second picture) to block the filters and flush the waste. (I attach a removable 2ft piece of pvc on the down port to better direct the wastewater). Only complaint so far is that in the lever up position, a small amount of water drips from the port below (one drop per 12.5 seconds). Otherwise, it serves the purpose. Will update as needed.

I bought this FibroPool 3-way valve to manage my pool lines, and it has been great. You can tell right out of the box that it’s a solid, heavy-duty build. Adjusting the valve handle is smooth and straightforward, and most importantly, no leaks or suction issues at all. Very pleased with the purchase and would highly recommend it to anyone maintaining their own pool system!

Good quality product, functions exactly like it's supposed to, was easy to install and it was priced right definitely buy it again

Great value, perfect replacement for Jandy 3-way valve and modifiable. I needed the off to rotate differently and was able to use instructions to breakdown, and reinstall with the desired rotation needed for my setup.

Pipes do not fit causing a worse leak than before

Works as Should had one leak and they was fast to send another one.

Bought two of these 2" pipe valves to replace air-sucking Jandy 3-way 1.5" valves that had been in system for 20 years. One of the two valves arrived with the locking set screw cracked in half. Probably still functional, but I put in the old Jandy screw, which was the same thread. Would like a replacement new screw, but didn't return the whole valve because I needed it ASAP and seemed a waste to return (trash?) a valve for a simple non-critical piece (for me). If company sees this review and responds/replaces the screw, I'll add to review and add a star. Seems smooth to operate (self-lubricating teflon seals). I was wondering when ordered if it would allow shutoff of the outlet side (which I didn't want for pump-safety reasons). Not stated: the valve is a 'selector' of either or both of the ends of the T toward an always-on output. I'm pretty sure you could remove the handle and rotate the inner part to shut off any one of the three if desired for your application.
