Universal Multi Port Valve for Anthony Apollo filter

Pool Equipment
1

Hi,

I ordered a universal multi port valve (Praher Universal Multiport Valve 2" FPT (Sand/D.E.) - SM-20-A0 - INYOPools.com) to connect to my Anthony Apollo filter.

The valve has labels on the ports: Pump, Return, Waste, Top, and Bottom.  I assume the Top and Bottom are for the filter inlet and outlet.  Is Top for the filter inlet and Bottom for the filter outlet?

The Apollo filter inlet is on the bottom and the outlet is on the top, so I’m thinking I should be connecting the valve in the opposite way (the port labeled Top would go to the bottom pipe on the Apollo filter).

Thank you!

Hi Scott, DE filters and sand filters are plumbed a bit differently.  What was the model of the old valve?

The old valve was an Anthony bronze push pull valve: Anthony Bronze Push Pull Valve Parts - INYOPools.com
