The A&A 6 Port Low Profile Retro Kit is designed to upgrade or rebuild the water valve in your A&A (now Pentair In-Floor) in-floor pool cleaning system. This kit is specifically for 6-port, low-profile water valves and is intended to improve the functionality and longevity of your pool's cleaning and circulation system.  

Here's a breakdown of what this kit typically entails:

Key Features:

• Designed for 6-Port Low Profile Valves: Specifically engineered to be compatible with A&A's 6-port, side-feed, low-profile water valves. These valves are characterized by a lower profile for discreet installation.
• Retrofit Solution: This kit provides the necessary components to either completely replace the internal working parts of your existing valve or upgrade an older system.  
• Improved Performance: Often includes updated components like T-valves (in newer versions) to replace older ball valves, which can offer more efficient water flow and better cleaning coverage.  
• Comprehensive Kit: Typically includes essential replacement parts such as:
  • Gear plate (cam)  
  • Impeller  
  • Center shaft  
  • O-rings and seals  
  • Anti-friction washers  
  • T-valves and clips (in newer versions)  
  • Sometimes includes installation tools or adhesive.
• Durable Materials: Components are made from materials designed to withstand the chemically treated pool water and constant operation.

Benefits:

• Restores Proper Function: If your current water valve is malfunctioning, causing poor cleaning, stuck zones, or other issues, this kit can restore its proper operation.
• Upgrades Older Systems: Retrofitting with this kit can bring the benefits of newer valve designs and improve the overall efficiency of your in-floor cleaning system.
• Extends Lifespan: By replacing worn internal parts, you can significantly extend the life of your expensive in-floor cleaning system.
• DIY Repair Option: For handy pool owners, this kit offers a cost-effective way to repair their system without needing to replace the entire valve.
• Optimized Water Flow: Upgrading to T-valves can provide better directional control of water flow to the cleaning heads.

In summary, the A&A 6 Port Low Profile Retro Kit is a comprehensive solution for rebuilding or upgrading the 6-port, low-profile water valve in your A&A in-floor pool cleaning system, leading to improved cleaning performance, extended system life, and potentially more efficient water flow.
