PVC ball valves: maximum control over your swimming pool installation
In a pool technical room, you want to be able to control and shut off water flows without shutting down the entire installation. PVC ball valves make that possible. Thanks to the internal ball system, the valve closes completely when closed, allowing you to safely perform maintenance on pumps, filters, heat pumps or UV-C systems.
Because swimming pool water is under pressure and in continuous contact with chlorine or salt, PVC ball valves are specially designed for pressure lines. They are resistant to chemicals, temperature fluctuations and long-term use.
When to use a PVC ball valve?
PVC ball valves are often placed at strategic points in piping, such as:
- Before and after pool pump
- At the supply and drain of a heat pump
- In a bypass construction
- On individual suction or return lines
By combining several taps, you can regulate or shut off different parts of your installation separately. This increases flexibility and makes maintenance easier and safer.
Different versions and diameters
The most common diameters used in swimming pool installations are 50 mm and 63 mm. It is important that the glue connection of the ball valve matches your PVC pressure pipe.
There are standard adhesive-glued versions, but also models with threaded or demountable unions. A demountable ball valve is particularly useful when you want to easily replace the valve later without cutting through your pipes.
Installation and durability
PVC ball valves are usually glued with PVC glue for a strong and leak-proof connection. When installing, make sure the valve is correctly aligned and can rotate freely. Avoid stress on the housing to prevent long-term leaks.
Quality PVC ball valves are low maintenance and designed for years of trouble-free use in both indoor and outdoor installations.
