Jandy® Pro Series, Slide Valve & Backwash Valve | Installation & Operation Manual
: This product must be installed and serviced by a professional pool/spa service technician.
The procedures in this instruction sheet must be followed exactly. Improper installation and/or operation will void the
warranty.
Ensure that all electrical power to the system is turned off before approaching, inspecting or troubleshooting any
leaking valves that may have caused other electrical devices in the surrounding area to get wet. Failure to do so
could result in an electrical hazard that could result in death or serious injury due to electrical shock, and may also
cause damage to property and/or operation.
• Do not connect system to an unregulated city water system or other external source of
pressurized water producing pressures greater than 35 PSI.
• Pressurized air in system can cause product failure or also cause the filter lid to be blown off
which can result in death, serious personal injury, or property damage. Be sure all air is out
of system before operating or testing the equipment.
To minimize risk of severe injury or death the filter and/or pump should not be subjected to the
piping system pressurization test.
Local codes may require the pool piping system to be subjected to a pressure test. These
requirements are generally not intended to apply to the pool equipment such as filters or pumps.
Jandy Pro Series pool equipment is pressure tested at the factory.
If however this WARNING cannot be followed and pressure testing of the piping system must include
the filter and/or pump BE SURE TO COMPLY WITH THE FOLLOWING SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS:
• Check all clamps, bolts, lids, lock rings and system accessories to ensure they are properly installed
and secured before testing.
in the system before testing.
• Water pressure for test must NOT EXCEED 35 PSI.
• Water temperature for test must NOT EXCEED 100°F (38°C).
• Limit test to 24 hours. After test, visually check system to be sure it is ready for operation.
: These parameters apply to Jandy Pro Series equipment only. For non-Jandy equipment, consult
equipment manufacturer.
Page 4 Jandy® Pro Series, Slide Valve & Backwash Valve | Installation & Operation Manual
This document provides instructions for installing the
Jandy Pro Series Pro Series Slide Valve. The instructions
must be followed exactly. Read through the instructions
completely before starting the procedure. Please save these
instructions.
The Jandy Pro Series Pro Series Slide Valve is designed to
be used on either sand or diatomaceous earth (DE) lters
with a center-to- center dimension of 8 inches (center of
the inlet port to the center of the outlet port). Combined
with the Jandy Pro Series Pro Series Versa-Coupler, the
Slide Valve can be used on lters with center-to-center
dimensions of 7 to 9 inches.
For Jandy Pro Series Filters, Slide Valve p/n SVLV8 (with
unions) is ready to mount to DEL48 or DEL60 model
lters (in which the top port is the lter outlet), BWVL-
SLD mounts to DEV48, DEV60 or JS series model lters.
If mounting a Jandy Pro Series Slide Valve on Pentair® or
Sta-Rite®* Filters, use a combination of p/n SVLV2 (Slide
Valve without unions) and p/n 8044 (Versa-Coupler Kit).
The Slide Valve is a two position valve. The valve handle
must be fully extended or fully depressed. This valve can
not be throttled. To operate the Slide Valve on a DEL,
DEV or JS series lters in normal ltration mode, fully
depress the handle. To operate the Slide Valve from a
manufacturer other than Jandy Pro Series (with the inlet
being the top port) on a sand lter in normal ltration
mode, fully extend the valve handle. See Figure 1.
1. Remove the Slide Valve from the packaging.
Twist the handle on the Slide Valve several times
to verify that the piston moves freely.
Ensure that all electrical power to the system is turned
off before approaching, inspecting or troubleshooting
any leaking valves that may have caused other
electrical devices in the surrounding area to get wet.
2. Turn off all power to the system. For retrot
installations only, follow steps "a" through "d".
For new installations skip steps "a" through "d"
and proceed to step 3.
a. Open the pressure relief valve on top of the lter.
Wait for all air to evacuate the system.
b. If the lter is below pool level, close the suction
and return line valves to isolate the ltration
system.
c. Remove the drain plug from the lter. Let the
water drain from the lter.
d. Remove the existing valve from the lter.
3. Remove the two (2) o-rings from the packaging.
4. Place the o-rings on the face of the union tail
pieces, where the face of the Slide Valve union
will connect to the lter bulkheads, see Figure 2.
Make sure each o-ring is properly seated into the
groove of each union tail piece.
The Slide Valve has molded labels on each port. (See
Figure 1.) The ports on the SVLV8 are equipped with
union connections that match the connections on the
filter ports. Do not use pipe sealants on union nuts.
5. Hold the Slide Valve upright and place onto the
lter bulkheads. See Figure 3.
6. Tighten both union nuts to secure the valve on the
lter.

7. Place lter and valve in proper location on the
equipment set pad.
8. Plumb the discharge of the pump into the Slide
Valve inlet labeled PORT B.
9. Plumb the Slide Valve outlet labeled PORT A to
the heater or pool return lines.
10. Plumb the Slide Valve outlet labeled PORT E to
the waste line as needed. Allow the connections to
dry for 24 hours.
Do not let any adhesive get inside the Slide Valve
body. Adhesive inside the valve body will prevent the
piston from moving freely, or cause the valve to leak.
To avoid costly equipment damage, after verifying
proper water flow and prior to putting system into
normal operating conditions, flush the system using
Backwash mode until the waste water is clean. Refer
to Section 4 for Backwash mode operation instructions.
11. When the glue is dry, start the system and check
for proper water ow.
For new installations other than Jandy Pro Series
DEL48 or DEL60, use the SVLV2 and the Versa
Coupler Kit, p/n 8044. See Figure 4.
If using the Slide Valve with a Pentair® filter, use
Pentair Pool Products® Union Set #27002, and then
proceed to Section 2. If using a Sta-Rite® filter, use
Sta-Rite® Union Set #PKGM188, and then proceed to
Section 2.
Certain filters may require only one (1) versa-coupler
(p/n 8044).
1. Slide one (1) versa-coupler into PORT C and one
(1) into PORT D on the Slide Valve.
2. Hold the Slide Valve up to the lter and twist the
versa-couplers until they slide into the lter inlet
and outlet ports.
Make sure to align each versa-coupler to the filter and
the Slide Valve prior to gluing the assembly. When
the parts are in alignment, mark each piece to ensure
correct reassembly.
3. Remove the valve from the lter. Clean the versa-
couplers and glue them onto the valve using the
alignment marks as a reference.
4. Clean the versa-coupler and glue onto the lter.
Hold the coupler in place for a minimum of one
(1) minute.
5. Plumb the discharge of the pump into the Slide
Valve inlet labeled PORT B.
Refer to Figure 5 for Steps 6 and 7.
6. (Jandy Pro Series DEL, DEV, and JS series
Filters) Plumb the Slide Valve outlet labeled
PORT A to the heater or pool return lines.
(Other Manufacturers Filters with the lter top
port as the inlet) Plumb the Slide Valve outlet
labeled PORT E to the heater or pool return lines.
7. (Jandy Pro Series DEL, DEV, and JS series
Filters) Plumb the Slide Valve outlet labeled
PORT E to the waste line as needed.
(Other Manufacturers Filters with the lter top
port as the inlet) Plumb the Slide Valve outlet
labeled PORT A to the waste line as needed.
