Frequently Asked Questions
Diverter Valve FAQS
What is the Diverter Valve used for?
The Illuminex Diverter Valve directs and controls water flow in your pool or spa plumbing system. It allows flexibility to open, close, or partially restrict multiple flow paths depending on system needs.
Which models are available?
Two sizes:
LU-3WV2 (1.5″–2″)
LU-3WV15 (2″–2.5″).
What materials are used?
High-quality UPVC body, ABS handle, stainless steel screws and springs, and FPM seals for durability and chemical resistance.
Who should install the Diverter Valve?
Only licensed and qualified pool equipment contractors should install or service the valve to ensure compliance with local codes and safe operation.
What is the maximum operating pressure?
Do not exceed 50 PSI during operation. The valve is rated up to 250 PSI, but pool systems must always stay within recommended limits.
Can solvent cement be used during installation?
Yes, but only use solvent cement that meets ASTM D2855 and ASTM F493 standards. Avoid getting cement inside the valve body.
How do I operate the handle?
Loosen the lock knob, turn the handle to the desired position, then finger-tighten the knob to secure it.
What are the flow options?
The 3-way diverter valve supports:
A → B open, C closed
A → C open, B closed
A, B, C fully open
A, B, C fully closed
How do I know the valve is in the OFF position?
The OFF indicator on the handle corresponds to the exact position of the internal diverter seal.
How often should O-rings and seals be replaced?
Inspect regularly and replace as needed. Double O-ring stem seals provide durability, but wear depends on chemical exposure and system usage.
Can the handle become stiff?
Yes. Debris inside the mechanism may cause stiffness. Clean and lubricate to restore smooth operation.
Why is my valve leaking?
Likely due to worn O-rings. Replace the O-rings to stop leaks.
The valve is restricting water flow. What should I check?
Ensure the handle is positioned correctly for your intended flow path.
Are there suction entrapment hazards with this valve?
Yes. Never operate with damaged or unsecured suction outlet covers. Always install a minimum of two suction outlets at least 3 ft apart to reduce entrapment risks.
Can I change the valve position while the pump is running?
No. Always turn off the pump before adjusting the valve to avoid pressure hazards.
What is the warranty coverage?
The Diverter Valve is covered by a 1-year warranty against defects in materials and workmanship.
