Hayward SP0715XR50 Vari-Flo XL 2" Side-Mount Multiport Control Valve
Part # SP0715XR50 — a high-flow, 6-position multiport control valve designed for 2″ plumbing systems. Commonly used with DE and sand filters where 2″ connections are required.
Key Features
- 2″ FIP ports for high-flow filtration systems.
- Lever-action handle with six valve functions: Filter, Backwash, Rinse, Waste, Recirculate, and Closed.
- Built-in sight glass for easy monitoring of backwash clarity and filter cleaning progress.
- Heavy-duty thermoplastic (PermaGlass XL) body for corrosion resistance and durability in pool environments.
- Side-mount design — fits many DE and sand filter systems that require 2″ plumbing.
Typical Applications
Ideal for deep-clean filter maintenance on pools, especially when working with larger plumbing (2″ lines) or high-flow pump systems. Used to switch between normal filtering, backwash, waste, recirculation, and other valve functions without rewiring or re-plumbing.
Installation & Compatibility Notes
Before installing, turn off the pump and relieve system pressure. Replace the existing valve with the SP0715XR50, using 2″ threaded plumbing connections. Apply plumber’s tape or appropriate thread sealant for a secure seal. After installation, prime the pump, and test each valve position to confirm proper flow direction and leak-free operation. Always follow manufacturer’s instructions for safe and correct use.
Why Choose This Valve?
The SP0715XR50 delivers robust flow capacity, a flexible 6-way function selector, and durable construction suitable for modern pools with high-flow pumps or 2″ plumbing. It’s a reliable, long-lasting upgrade or replacement for older, worn or undersized multiport valves.
Maintenance Tips
- Inspect O-rings and gaskets annually and replace if cracked or worn to prevent leaks.
- Before changing valve position, always turn off the pump to avoid damaging internal seals.
- Use the built-in sight glass to verify backwash is complete before returning to filter mode.
- Lubricate handle pivot and O-rings with a pool-safe silicone lubricant as part of seasonal maintenance to ensure smooth operation.
