The handle is very short and DIFFICULT to rotate. Description is misleading. There are only 4 full open/full close detents... Full skimmer/full main, full skimmer/NO main, Full main/NO skimmer, Maintenance - main and skimmer both off (make sure your pump is OFF for this setting) None of the detents have markings, so you have to teach yourself the valve operation before you install it. To get percentages like 100 Skimmer, 50 Main, you have to eyeball it.. Because of the handle, I would probably choose Jandy/Pentair/Hayward! I will be extending the handle with PVC pipe for leverage. It is VERY difficult to rotate... which is why I replaced my original old valve in the first place!
