All VariFlo control valves feature an easy-to-use lever action handle that lets you “dial” up to seven valve/filter functions: filter, backwash, waste, rinse, closed, winter or recirculate. Complete with an integral sight glass that lets you see when the backwashing cycle is completed, our wide selection of valve configurations allows you to match the right VariFlo valve to the proper application; residential, commercial, top-mount or side mount.

VariFlo Control Valve Functions:
FILTER – For normal filtering and regular vacuuming
BACKWASH – For cleaning filter sand bed of accumulated debris
RINSE – Use after completing backwash cycle to ensure all dirty water is rinsed out of the filter to waste
WASTE – By-passes the filter for draining or lowering pool water level and for vacuuming heavy debris directly to waste line
RECIRCULATE – Water is recirculated through the valve, by-passing the filter
CLOSED – Shuts off the flow from the pump to the filter
