Product Overview
The Blue Square In-Floor 2" 6-Port Q360 Water Valve | 1130100 is a complete water valve designed for Blue Square Q360 and Q360+ in-floor pool cleaning systems. This valve distributes water to multiple cleaning zones, allowing pop-up heads to operate in sequence for improved debris movement, circulation, and full-pool cleaning coverage.
Built with a 2-inch inlet and six 2-inch ports, the Q360 valve is designed for high-flow in-floor cleaning systems where strong zone pressure and reliable water routing are essential. Its gear-driven turbine design helps transfer water-powered motion smoothly through the valve, while the see-through lid allows easier inspection of internal gears and turbine movement.
This valve is ideal for replacing a worn, leaking, stuck, or underperforming Q360 valve assembly.
Ideal For
- Blue Square Q360 in-floor cleaning systems
- Blue Square Q360+ in-floor cleaning systems
- 6-port / 6-zone in-floor pool cleaning layouts
- 2" in-floor water valve replacements
- Restoring pop-up head pressure
- Fixing poor or uneven zone switching
- Replacing worn or damaged water valves
- Pools with floor, step, bench, or spa cleaning circuits
- New construction, remodels, and equipment pad upgrades
- Professional pool service and repair applications
Key Features
- Complete Q360 water valve — designed for Blue Square in-floor pool cleaning systems.
- 6-port configuration — distributes water across six cleaning zones.
- 2" inlet and six 2" ports — supports high-flow in-floor cleaning system performance.
- Gear-driven turbine operation — transfers water-powered motion efficiently through the valve.
- Pressure-safe valve design — helps protect the system by keeping one port open during operation.
- Maximized flow rate — engineered to reduce unnecessary flow restriction and back pressure.
- See-through lid design — allows visual inspection of turbine and gear operation without full disassembly.
- Glass-reinforced molded construction — built for strength, outdoor use, and pool equipment environments.
- Saltwater and chemical friendly — suitable for standard pool chemical and saltwater pool applications.
- Non-electric operation — cycles using pool system water flow, with no separate electrical wiring required.
Benefits
The Blue Square 1130100 Q360 Water Valve helps restore the automatic zone rotation that in-floor cleaning systems depend on. When a valve fails to cycle correctly, certain pop-up heads may stay down, zones may receive weak pressure, or debris may collect in areas that should be cleaned automatically.
By directing water to one zone at a time, this valve helps deliver stronger flow to pop-up cleaning heads, improving debris movement and circulation across the pool. The see-through lid also makes service easier because technicians can visually check internal movement before taking the valve apart.
For pools already using Blue Square Q360 or Q360+ systems, this is a direct replacement valve option for maintaining system performance.

Note: Additional plumbing fittings, couplings, reducers, O-rings, clamps, or repair parts may be required depending on the existing equipment pad layout and valve condition.
Installation Notes
This valve should be installed by a qualified pool professional familiar with Blue Square in-floor cleaning systems. Before installation, verify that the existing system uses a 2" 6-port Q360 or Q360+ valve configuration.
Turn off all pool equipment and relieve system pressure before removing the old valve. Confirm proper pipe alignment, zone layout, valve orientation, and clearance before installation. After installation, restart the system and verify that the valve cycles correctly through all six zones and that pop-up heads receive proper pressure.
If cleaning performance is still weak after replacement, inspect pump flow, filter pressure, pop-up heads, plumbing restrictions, and internal valve components.
Customer-Facing Q&A
Q: What does the Blue Square 1130100 water valve do?
A: It automatically distributes water to different in-floor cleaning zones so pop-up heads can clean the pool in sequence.
Q: How many ports does this valve have?
A: This is a 6-port water valve.
Q: What size plumbing is this for?
A: It is designed for 2" inlet and 2" outlet port plumbing.
Q: Does this valve require electricity?
A: No. The valve is water-powered and cycles when the pool system is running.
Q: What systems does this fit?
A: It is designed for Blue Square Q360 and Q360+ in-floor cleaning systems that use a 2" 6-port valve.
Q: Is this a complete valve assembly?
A: Yes. This listing is for the complete Blue Square Q360 2" 6-port water valve assembly.
Q: Can I see the gears without opening the valve?
A: Yes. The valve features a see-through lid that allows inspection of the turbine and gear operation.
Q: When should this valve be replaced?
A: Replacement may be needed if the valve is leaking, cracked, stuck on one zone, failing to rotate, or causing weak pop-up head performance.
Q: Is this compatible with saltwater pools?
A: Yes. The valve construction is designed to be saltwater and pool-chemical friendly.
Q: Should this be professionally installed?
A: Yes. Professional installation is recommended to ensure correct plumbing alignment, zone orientation, and system operation.
