Product Overview

The Pentair Compool Valve Actuator (263045) is a reliable 24VAC actuator designed to automate pool and spa valve control through compatible automation systems. With a 180-degree rotation range and a 25-foot cord, it’s ideal for installations where the actuator needs extra reach back to the control panel—helping deliver smooth valve switching for water features, pool/spa return, suction selection, and more.

Ideal For

• Pool/spa owners upgrading to automated valve control

• Replacing a worn or failed Compool/Pentair actuator

• Installations requiring a longer 25 ft cable run

• Systems needing 180° valve rotation for standard diverter valves

Key Features

• Genuine Pentair Compool actuator

• 24VAC operation (standard for pool automation actuators)

• 180-degree rotation (common setting for pool/spa diverter valves)

• 25-foot cord for flexible placement and easier wiring routes

• Designed for consistent performance in outdoor pool equipment environments

Benefits

• Automates valve switching for easier pool/spa operation

• Reduces manual turning of diverter valves

• Long cord helps simplify installs where the control system isn’t nearby

• Dependable replacement option to restore automation functions quickly

Customer-Facing Q&A

Q: Is this actuator 24V or 120V?
A: This actuator runs on 24VAC, which is the standard voltage used by most pool automation valve actuators.

Q: What does “180 degree” mean?
A: It indicates the actuator rotates the valve up to 180°, which matches most common diverter valve applications like pool/spa switching.

Q: Is the 25 ft cord attached?
A: Yes—this version includes a 25-foot cord for extended reach to the automation/control panel.

Q: Will this work without automation?
A: It’s intended to be controlled by a compatible automation/controller system. On its own, it won’t provide “automatic switching” without a control signal.

Q: Is this a good replacement if my actuator stopped turning?
A: Yes—if your system uses a 24VAC actuator with 180° rotation, this is commonly used as a direct replacement (always verify part number and system compatibility).
