The Pentair OEM 263064 Push-Pull Valve is a genuine Pentair control valve designed for use on compatible Pentair pool filter systems with 7.5 and 7.81 square foot configurations. This push-pull style valve controls water flow direction during normal filtration and backwashing operations, allowing the filter system to function properly and be cleaned efficiently.

Push-pull valves are commonly used on vertical grid D.E. and specialty filter systems where simple, reliable flow control is required. By pulling or pushing the handle, the valve redirects water flow between filtration and backwash modes without the complexity of multiport valve assemblies. Proper valve operation is essential for maintaining clean filter grids, stable operating pressure, and consistent water clarity.

Over time, internal seals, shafts, and valve bodies can wear due to pressure cycles, chemical exposure, and mechanical use. When a push-pull valve begins to leak, bind, or fail to seal correctly, filter performance and backwashing efficiency are compromised. Replacing the valve restores proper system operation and prevents ongoing performance issues.

Why the Push-Pull Valve Matters

The push-pull valve directly controls how water moves through the filter.

Why this matters:

• Allows proper switching between filtration and backwash modes

• Ensures effective filter cleaning during backwash cycles

• Prevents internal bypass and pressure loss

• Supports stable operating pressure and flow

• Protects internal filter components from improper water routing

A worn or malfunctioning valve can lead to ineffective backwashing, dirty filter grids, and reduced filtration efficiency.

Designed for Pentair Filter Systems

This valve is manufactured to Pentair OEM specifications and is designed specifically for Pentair filter systems that require the 263064 push-pull valve configuration. Proper port sizing, internal tolerances, and sealing surfaces ensure correct fit and reliable operation under normal pool operating pressures.

Using an OEM Pentair valve ensures compatibility with existing plumbing connections and internal filter components. Aftermarket valves may not seal correctly or may introduce alignment issues that affect long-term performance.

Always verify filter model and size compatibility before installation.

Reliable Manual Operation

The push-pull handle design offers straightforward, dependable operation without complex internal diverters. This makes the valve easy to use for routine maintenance and backwashing procedures while reducing the number of moving parts that can fail over time.

During operation, the handle should move smoothly between positions. Any stiffness, leaking around the shaft, or inability to maintain position may indicate internal wear requiring valve replacement.

Routine inspection helps ensure continued reliable performance.
