Hayward’s Vari-Flo XL multiport control valves, made of reinforced thermoplastic material and engineered for maximum flow, are the professional’s choice in multiport valves. All Vari-Flo control valves feature an easy-to-use lever action handle that lets you “dial” up to six 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, Hayward’s wide selection of valve configurations allows you to match the right Vari-Flo valve to the proper application.
This valve is a replacement valve for Hayward sand filters S200 and S240.
VARI-FLO CONTROL VALVE FUNCTIONS:
Filter – For normal filtering and regular vacuuming.
Backwash – For cleaning filter sand bed of accumulated debris.
Rinse – Use after completing the backwash cycle to ensure all dirty water is rinsed out of the filter to waste.
Waste – By-passes the filter for draining or lowering the pool water level and for vacuuming heavy debris directly to the waste line.
Recirculate – Water is recirculated through the valve, bypassing the filter.
Closed – Shuts off the flow from the pump to the filter.
