Paramount In-Floor Water Valve Gear Module

This module is specifically designed for Paramount in-floor cleaning systems. It is a direct replacement part for the internal gear mechanism in standard 4-port Paramount valves, but you should verify your existing valve housing matches the Paramount 4-port configuration before purchasing.

No, this unit is entirely water-powered. It utilizes the pressure from your existing pool pump to rotate the internal gears and distribute water flow to your cleaning zones, meaning no electricity is needed for operation.

You likely need a replacement if your pop-up jets have stopped rotating through the zones, if the jets are stuck in one position, or if you notice a significant drop in cleaning performance. These symptoms often indicate that the internal gears have worn down or become jammed.

Replacing the gear module is a standard maintenance task for most pool owners. It involves removing the valve lid, pulling out the old module, and dropping the new one into place, though you should ensure the pool pump is turned off and the system is depressurized before beginning.

This specific module is designed for systems that manage floor-only cleaning coverage. If your system includes wall jets or a different number of zones, you should confirm your valve configuration matches the 4-port floor-only specification.
