So can this valve be completely shut off like shut the flow off to the skimmer and the main drain?

[@cloverpoolcare]

Yes but it depends on how it's plumbed in if it's a 3-way valve, since one side will be left open. The 2-way version is just open or closed.

good video. I have a question. well two really. I have Jandy Valves, but mine also have a turny knob on the side. what is that for and how does it work? Second question. One is leaking. I started to sum of the parts was great then a new valve. should I just by a new one and take off the parts I need?

[@cloverpoolcare]

That is a great question! The grease cap on the side eliminates the need to disassemble the valve for lubrication. Not sure which part of your valve is leaking, if it's just the o rings then it's fixable, if the plastic is damaged then replace the whole valve. Thanks for watching!

So I have these the plastic ones. But there starting to break. So I want to change to a jandy value but I need a 2 way value.

[@cloverpoolcare]

Jandy does make a 2way version as well, I should have included that in the video. Thanks for watching!
