Starway Automatic Multiport Backwash Valve (50mm Glue Spigot)

Automate the Most Forgotten Pool Job: Backwashing the Filter

The Starway automatic backwash valve sits on top of your sand filter in place of a manual multiport, and runs the full backwash and rinse cycle on a schedule you set. No more "I forgot to backwash again," no more pressure-gauge-watching, no more cleaner having to remember.

What It Does for You

• Automated backwash cycles on a programmable schedule (typically once a week)
• Full rinse cycle included after every backwash, so dirty water doesn't return to the pool
• Manual override if you ever need a one-off cycle
• Pressure trigger option, so the valve fires when filter pressure climbs past your setpoint
• Cleaner pool, longer-lasting filter media, less work for the pump

Specifications

• Connection: 50 mm PVC glue spigot
• Maximum water temperature: 40°C
• Voltage: 230V
• Mounts on top of sand filters with the standard 1.5" multiport bayonet (most major brands)

Best For

Holiday lets, second homes, anyone with a busy life, and pool techs who want to standardise filter maintenance across multiple sites.
