Low profile 6-port water-actuated valve
The rotation speed of the 6-port water actuated valve is determined by the
position of the tinted lid when it is placed on the water valve. For maximum
cleaning efficiency, we recommend that the cycle time for each zone be
adjusted to run approximately 30-45 seconds (operation of a single zone in
isolation only). The volume of water allowed to enter the impeller chamber of
the water valve controls the speed at which it operates.

Follow these steps to adjust
the speed control of your 6-port,
water-actuated valve.
1. Turn the pump off.
2. Locate the speed control guide moulded onto the top lip of the valve
housing, and the grooved recess moulded into the clear lid that accepts the
speed control guide.
3. Place the lid on the valve housing, making sure the moulded groove recess
in the lid is positioned over the speed control valve guide.
4. Rotate the lid counter-clockwise to increase the cycle time. Rotating the lid
clockwise decreases cycle time.
(See Figure 4)
5. Once you achieve the desired speed, remove the band clamp and, with
a marking pen, place a mark on the edge of the lid and valve housing as
registration marks. This allows the lid to be returned to the same position
when the water valve cover is removed next time.
Using the QuikStop™ pause control
You may want to pause the system on the deep-end zone or the spa running
to power the spillway, so that the pool water continues to be filtered while
swimming activities continue.
Follow these steps to use the QuikStop™ pause control:
(See Figure 5)
1. To pause your system, raise the black lever on the valve lid to the upright
position, so that it locks in place.
