situation which, if not avoided, could
result in death or serious injury.

NOTICE is used to address
practices not related to physical
injury.

NOTICE

Signal Words and Symbols Used In This Manual

This Owner’s Manual and Installation Guide contains specific precautions and symbols to identify safety-related information. You will find DANGER,
CAUTION, WARNING and NOTICE symbols which require special attention. Please read them carefully and follow these precautions as indicated!
They will explain how to avoid hazards that may endanger you or persons using or maintaining your pool or spa.

MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS & WARNINGS:

DEATH or SERIOUS INJURY can result from pool or spa drain covers or grates that are clogged by debris.

All pool and spa drain covers may become obstructed by debris and should be cleaned periodically due to
clogging from debris, such as pieces of plastic, hair, fabric, twigs, leaves, seeds, etc.

The frequency of periodic cleaning will vary depending on the amount and type of debris introduced into the
pool or spa. Clogging of the drain cover will increase the suction effect and increase the likelihood of death or serious injury from those hazards
listed above. A clogged drain can negatively affect the safety of the drain. It is advisable to have a qualified pool or spa professional perform this
inspection and debris removal from the pool an spa drain covers.

WARNING

DANGER indicates a hazardous
situation which, if not avoided, will
result in death or serious injury.

CAUTION

DANGER

DEATH or SERIOUS INJURY will result from contact with a damaged, loose, or missing drain cover.

• Do not allow limbs to contact or be inserted into a drain pipe with a damaged, loose, or missing drain cover. This
could result in swelling of the limb and/or trapping a swimmer underwater.

• Avoid mechanical entrapment of jewelry, swimsuit, hair decorations, finger, toe, or knuckle in a drain pipe with
damaged, loose, or missing drain cover. This may result in trapping a swimmer underwater.

Do not allow body to come into contact with a drain pipe that has a damaged, loose, or missing drain cover. This may
result in trapping a swimmer underwater.

DANGER

WARNING

CAUTION indicates a hazardous
situation which, if not avoided, could
result in minor or moderate injury.

SUCTION ENTRAPMENT HAZARD:

DEATH or SERIOUS INJURY will result if a drain cover or grate is not installed and used correctly.

• Pool and spa pumps produce high levels of suction and move high volumes of water, which can cause death
or serious injury if a person comes in close proximity to pool or spa drains.

• Keep clear of pool and spa drains to avoid death or serious injury from suction.

DEATH or SERIOUS INJURY will result from pool or spa drain covers or grates that are improperly installed,
missing, clogged, or broken.

• Inspect pool and spa regularly to insure that drain covers and grates are properly in place and secured.

• Ensure that drain covers are not damaged, cracked, broken, loose, clogged, not properly secured, or missing because these conditions increase
the chance of death or serious injury from entrapment.

• If a drain cover is discovered damaged, cracked, broken, loose, clogged, not properly secured, or missing, you should:

• Close the pool or spa immediately; and,

• Post a closure notice and keep the pool or spa closed until an appropriate ANSI/APSP -16-2011 certified drain cover is properly installed.

DEATH or SERIOUS INJURY will result from hair entanglement or limb entrapment.

• Keep clear of pool and spa drains.

• Hair sucked into pool or spa drains will tangle and knot trapping the swimmer underwater.
Avoid placing your hair near a pool or spa drain.

• Avoid sitting on pool or spa drains because the suction can cause severe intestinal damage,

evisceration, and/or disembowelment.

The Paramount water valve is fully automatic and operates whenever the pump it’s connected to is running. Your
Paramount water valve may be connected to your filter pump or a stand-alone “booster” pump.

The water valve automatically distributes water to different areas of your pool, which can include the floor, steps,
benches, spa and water features. It cycles much like an automatic sprinkler system in your yard switching from one
circuit to another (Figure 1 shows the combination of water valves). Every water valve has a center port. This is
where the water enters the valve. You will have a 2-port, 3-port, 6-port, 9-port or 12-port system depending on the
design of your pool. The port count of the water valve indicates the number of circuits that send water back to your
pool or to another water valve. Cleaning nozzles or returns are placed at the end of the circuits.

WHAT IS A WATER VALVE?

Combination Water Valves (9-Port and
12-Port)

A 9-port system consists of 2 water valves,
a 6-port and a 4-port. The 4-port valve has
3 circuits to the pool and 1 circuit that
powers the 6 port valve for a total of 9
circuits going to the pool. On this type of
system the 3 circuits on the 4-port valve
fire twice as often as the other 6 circuits on
the six port valve. Your system is designed
specifically to take advantage of this firing
sequence.

A 12-port system consists of 3 water
valves, two 6-ports and one 2-port, 5 gear
valve. The 2-port alternately powers each
6-port valve. Your system is designed
specifically to take advantage of this firing
sequence.

UNIQUE WATER VALVE FEATURES

The run/pause switch on the top of the valve allows you to pause the
system to isolate a circuit in an out of the way area of the pool.

The one-piece replacement module design allows for easy installation.

The gauge on your water valve is important and tells you how the system
is operating. Gauges should be replaced when they become unreadable
or inaccurate. Never use Teflon tape on a replacement gauge, use a thread
sealant that is approved for plastic such as Teflon paste. Hand tighten
gauge as over tightening can crack the water valve lid.
