Product Overview

The Pentair 18201-0300 Sta-Rite multiport valve is used to control water flow through pool and spa filtration systems. Installed on the side port of compatible sand or D.E. filters, the valve allows operators to switch between multiple operating modes such as filtration, backwashing, rinsing, and waste discharge to maintain optimal water quality.

The valve body is constructed from durable ABS material designed to withstand pressure, chemical exposure, and outdoor equipment conditions. Union fittings allow the valve to be removed easily during servicing without cutting plumbing lines. This design provides convenient maintenance access while maintaining reliable hydraulic performance in residential and commercial pool filtration systems.
