Frequently Asked Questions

 

1. What is a ball valve used for in pool plumbing? A ball valve is used to manually control the flow of water through your pool's plumbing system. Common uses include isolating the pump or filter for cleaning and maintenance, shutting off suction lines from skimmers or the main drain, or controlling the flow to features like waterfalls or solar heating.

2. What does "Glued 50mm" mean? "Glued" means that this valve is designed to be connected to PVC pipes using a specialized solvent cement to create a permanent, watertight seal. "50mm" refers to the size of the pipe that the valve is compatible with, ensuring you have the correct fit for your plumbing.

3. What is the best way to install this valve? To install the valve, you must use a PVC solvent cement and primer. First, ensure both the inside of the valve fitting and the outside of the pipe are clean and dry. Apply the primer and then the solvent cement to both surfaces. Quickly push the pipe into the valve, giving it a quarter turn to ensure even cement coverage, and hold it firmly for about 30 seconds. It is essential to let the cement cure completely before pressurizing the system, as per the cement manufacturer's instructions.
