CMP Back-Up Valve for Automatic Pool Cleaner – 25563-052-000 (Compare to G52)
Restore Proper Movement and Coverage to Your Pressure-Side Pool Cleaner
The CMP Back-Up Valve for Automatic Pool Cleaners (25563-052-000) is a critical mechanical component designed to regulate reverse movement in pressure-side pool cleaners. By periodically redirecting water flow, the back-up valve prevents the cleaner from getting stuck, tangled, or trapped in corners—ensuring full pool coverage and consistent cleaning performance.
This CMP back-up valve is a direct functional replacement comparable to the Polaris® G52 back-up valve, offering reliable operation at a competitive value.
Why a Back-Up Valve Is Essential for Pressure-Side Cleaners
Pressure-side pool cleaners rely on controlled bursts of reverse water flow to change direction. Over time, internal components inside the back-up valve wear down, leading to issues such as:
-
Cleaners getting stuck against walls or steps
-
Poor coverage patterns
-
Tangled feed hoses
-
Reduced cleaning efficiency
Replacing a worn back-up valve restores the programmed reverse cycles that keep your cleaner moving freely around the pool.
CMP 25563-052-000 vs Polaris® G52
The CMP 25563-052-000 back-up valve is designed to perform the same core function as the Polaris® G52 back-up valve. It provides timed reverse flow bursts that redirect your cleaner without requiring adjustments or modifications.
Key comparison benefits:
-
Comparable timing and water-flow control
-
Compatible with common pressure-side cleaner hose assemblies
-
Cost-effective alternative to OEM back-up valves
-
Built for consistent, repeatable operation
This makes it an excellent option for pool owners and service professionals seeking dependable performance without overpaying.
Designed for Pressure-Side Pool Cleaner Systems
This back-up valve is intended for use with pressure-side automatic pool cleaners, not suction-side or robotic cleaners. It installs directly inline on the cleaner feed hose and operates automatically during normal system operation.
Typical compatible applications include:
-
Pressure-side pool cleaners using booster pumps
-
Systems requiring periodic reverse movement
-
Cleaners prone to hose tangling or corner trapping
(Always verify compatibility with your specific cleaner model.)
Simple Inline Installation
The CMP back-up valve 25563-052-000 installs inline on the pressure cleaner hose with no electrical connections required. Once installed, it automatically cycles based on water pressure and internal timing components.
Installation advantages:
-
No programming required
-
No tools beyond standard hose connections
-
Works automatically once water flow begins
-
Ideal for service calls and routine maintenance
Replacing the valve is often one of the fastest ways to restore cleaner performance without replacing the entire unit.
How This Valve Fits Into Your Pool Cleaner System
The back-up valve works alongside other key pressure-side cleaner components, including:
-
Pressure-side pool cleaners
-
Cleaner feed hoses
-
Cleaner tail scrubbers
-
Booster pump systems
