Restore Smooth Flow Control in Jandy-Style Pool Valves

The Swimables Valve Insert – Jandy® Style Replacement (SW-30-720) is a replacement internal diverter insert designed for Jandy-style pool valves used throughout pool plumbing systems. The valve insert is the internal component that directs water flow inside the valve body, allowing the handle to smoothly control suction, return, or feature circuits.

When the valve insert becomes worn, swollen, or damaged, valves can become stiff, leak internally, or fail to redirect water properly. Replacing the insert restores smooth operation without replacing the entire valve.

This product is a pool valve internal replacement part, engineered specifically for swimming pool plumbing systems.


What a Pool Valve Insert Does

Inside a Jandy-style valve, the insert (diverter) rotates to control how water is routed. A properly functioning insert allows:

  • Smooth handle rotation

  • Accurate flow direction

  • Proper sealing between ports

  • Reliable operation of suction and return lines

If the insert degrades, water may bypass internally or the handle may seize.


Designed for Jandy-Style Pool Valves

The SW-30-720 valve insert is manufactured in a Jandy-style configuration, making it compatible with many common Jandy-style 2-way and 3-way pool valves used on:

  • Suction plumbing

  • Return plumbing

  • Water features

  • Solar and heater bypass lines

It is commonly serviced alongside components found in the Pool Plumbing Valves Collection and Pool Equipment Parts Collection.

Always confirm valve model and internal configuration before ordering.


Common Signs a Valve Insert Needs Replacement

A failing valve insert can cause noticeable operational issues, including:

  • Hard-to-turn or seized valve handle

  • Poor or inconsistent flow control

  • Internal bypass between ports

  • Leaks despite good lid O-ring

  • Valve no longer holding position

Replacing the insert often restores proper valve function without cutting plumbing.


Avoid Replacing the Entire Valve Body

In many cases, the valve body itself remains in good condition. Replacing just the insert:

  • Saves time and labor

  • Avoids cutting and replumbing

  • Restores factory-like operation

  • Reduces repair cost

This makes the SW-30-720 an ideal service-friendly repair solution.


Built for Pool Plumbing Environments

The Swimables valve insert is made from pool-rated materials designed to withstand:

  • Continuous water flow

  • Chlorinated and saltwater pools

  • Pressure changes

  • Seasonal temperature swings

This ensures dependable long-term performance inside the valve body.


Ideal for Service Calls and Preventative Maintenance

Valve inserts are commonly replaced during:

  • Valve rebuilds

  • Seasonal equipment service

  • Plumbing troubleshooting

  • Handle replacement jobs

Service professionals often replace the insert when a valve becomes stiff or unreliable.

This part pairs naturally with valve lid O-rings, handles, and check valves found in the Pool Plumbing Components Collection.


Installation Notes

General service considerations include:

  • Remove valve lid and handle

  • Extract old insert carefully

  • Inspect valve body for debris

  • Install new insert in correct orientation

  • Lubricate O-rings as recommended

Professional installation is recommended for optimal alignment and sealing.
