The
most common variety of valve found on pool plumbing. Also known as
Jandy 
valves
or Compool valves, these types of valves are more expensive, but worth
every penny. Easier to use than other types of pool valves and newer
models require no lubrication.
The removable lid makes these pool valves serviceable in the event of a clog or the breakage of internal parts. The 3 way design (shown) allows for plumbing flexibility and simplicity. Also available in 2 way design..

For Valve Parts, such as diverters, handles, knobs and o-rings, visit our Valve Parts section.
What can be confusing for combination valve users is what is happening inside the valve when they turn the handle. Notice in the diagram that the size and curve of the handle, corresponds exactly with the diverter (item #9) inside the valve body. Wherever the curved front of the handle is located, so will be the "door" of the valve.
Important to keep older combination valves lubricated with a Teflon or Silicone lubricant. Newer valves, known as Never-Lube, do not need to be manually lubricated.
