Bonbo SP0714T VariFlo Top-Mount Valve 1-1/2in FIP, 7-Position for Hayward Sand Filters

Overview

The Bonbo SP0714T VariFlo Top-Mount Control Valve is a robust 1-1/2 inch FIP valve designed to work with Hayward Above-Ground Pro and VL Series sand filters. It supports a wide range of Hayward models, making it a versatile upgrade for everyday pool maintenance. The top-mount design keeps the lever within easy reach above the tank, allowing smooth transitions between modes as you manage filtration, backwashing, and cleaning tasks.

Durable construction for reliable operation

Crafted from ABS material combined with heavy-duty steel, this valve is built to endure regular exposure to pool chemicals and sunlight. The sturdy construction helps resist corrosion and wear, while a carefully engineered internal path minimizes friction as you switch settings. The result can be consistent performance over time and a calmer pool circulation experience.

Seven positions, one simple lever

The VariFlo valve offers seven distinct settings: Filter, Backwash, Rinse, Waste, Recirculate, Closed, and Winter. The lever-action handle allows straightforward transitions, even when the system is in operation. This versatility supports routine maintenance, seasonal adjustments, and on-demand flow control.

• Great compatibility with Hayward Above-Ground Pro or VL Series sand filters
• Superior material blend for long-lasting durability
• Seven functional positions for flexible pool care
• Secure 1-1/2 inch threaded ports for reliable plumbing connections
• Built-in waste port, pressure gauge, and sight glass for convenient monitoring

Built-in conveniences for monitoring

In addition to its seven modes, the valve includes a built-in waste port, a pressure gauge, and a sight glass to help you observe flow and system status at a glance. The threaded inlet and outlet ports provide a solid fit with typical 1-1/2 inch plumbing, supporting straightforward installation in many pool setups. Paired with a stable top-mount body, this valve is designed to minimize surprises during service and routine checks.

• Easy lever operation to cycle through modes as you observe system response
• Clear indicators and accessible components for quick assessments

Real-world use cases

During regular pool care, you might switch to Backwash after debris buildup, move to Rinse to settle the sand, or select Winter to protect the filter in colder months. The Recirculate option can be useful for redirecting flow during inspections or when other tasks are active. While results can vary by setup, many users value the control and visibility this valve offers for routine maintenance.
