Fibropool Swimming Pool Diverter Valve - 1 1/2 Inch Female Threaded - 3 Way - Replacement Valve for Pools and Spas

Best diverter on the market at this price.Why pay more!? It would be silly. I was skeptical at first because it's almost half the price of others. Well sometimes cheaper doesn't mean cheap. Solid product, I use two of them on my 18x32 pool to control water flow ,fountains and jets. They work flawless at very high pressure, I have a two speed pump and I can shoot a 3/4-1" stream of water across my pools 32' span and into neighbors yard and these bad boys are up to the task,easy to change flow even at high pressure and gpm.also locking features in case running even more psi.If skeptical don't be

I wasn't sure how this works. Basically you push in the handle and turn the valve to where you need it to go. The "flat" part of the valve that faces the opposite side of your grasp (in the product picture the flat side is on the bottom left) is the side that closes off whatever it's facing. In the product picture, it is facing no opening and all ports are opened.

This is holding up pretty good, its working as it should, no problem with changing flows.

before install, pre lube the inside. Be extremely careful not to over tighten the screws as to be almost loose. They will crack the housing then or worse yet, crack later on. These are reasonable on price so I keep a spare handy when opening the pool in the early summer.

Upon receipt the valve was very stiff and difficult to turn. I had to disable, generously lubricate, and reassemble.After that, everything worked well.

Works as advertised and easy to install

I am using this to divert where my sump line goes. It's always been difficult to turn and today when i went to turn it the handle busted off. I am trying to turn when there is no water or pressure so shouldn't be that hard and yes i am pressing down so it's not locked. I did order a new one so i can replace the guts and not have to install a whole new valve. Hoping these new guts will turn a little smoother. I don't have to turn it too often so i will give it another shot but if i had to change the direction often however i would look for a different unit.

Used this on a sump pump. Got tired of switching hoses from front of house to back of house every summer and winter. Now just turn the handle and done.
