Proper flow control is essential for DE filter performance, especially during filtration and backwash cycles. When a slide valve begins to leak, bind, or bypass internally, the filter may no longer operate correctly, leading to reduced water clarity and inefficient backwashing. The CMP 2" P-Style Slide Valve Assembly is a complete valve solution designed to restore dependable flow control in compatible DE pool filter systems.

This valve assembly is engineered with a 2-inch P-style configuration commonly used on DE filters, allowing water to be directed properly during normal filtration and backwash operations. By replacing the entire valve assembly, pool owners and service professionals can correct issues caused by worn seals, internal leakage, or damaged valve bodies without attempting partial repairs that may not fully resolve the problem.

Built for durability and OEM-style fitment, this slide valve assembly provides a reliable repair option for maintaining consistent filtration performance.

Provides Reliable Filtration and Backwash Control

Slide valves control the direction of water through a DE filter system. When internal components wear or the valve body degrades, water can bypass the filter grids or leak externally, reducing system efficiency.

The CMP 2" P-Style Slide Valve Assembly restores positive flow control by ensuring proper sealing and smooth valve operation. Once installed, it allows the system to switch cleanly between filtration and backwash modes, helping maintain correct DE loading and effective debris removal.

This replacement is especially useful when recurring valve issues persist despite internal repairs.

Designed for 2" P-Style DE Filter Applications

This valve assembly is manufactured specifically for 2-inch P-style slide valve configurations used on DE filter systems. Proper sizing and port alignment help ensure compatibility with existing plumbing and filter setups.

Using a correctly matched slide valve assembly helps prevent leaks, installation issues, and flow restrictions.

Durable Construction for Pool Equipment Environments

Slide valves operate under constant pressure, frequent cycling, and exposure to chemically treated water. The CMP slide valve assembly is constructed from heavy-duty, chemical-resistant materials designed to withstand these conditions over long service life.

Its robust build makes it suitable for both residential pool systems and professional service applications where reliability is critical.

Why Replacing a Slide Valve Assembly Matters

A failing slide valve can compromise the entire filtration system.

Replacing the slide valve assembly helps:

• Eliminate internal bypass and leakage

• Restore proper filtration and backwash operation

• Improve DE filter performance and water clarity

• Reduce repeat service issues and downtime

A full valve replacement provides a long-term solution when partial repairs are no longer effective.
