Product Overview

The Caretaker 5-9-2200 5-Port Complete Water Valve is the full replacement valve assembly for Caretaker in-floor pool and spa cleaning systems with 2-inch plumbing. Driven by water pressure, it directs flow to each of its five ports in sequence so the cleaning heads in each zone pop up, sweep debris toward the main drain, and return flush with the floor. Considered the workhorse of the industry, it delivers dependable, thorough in-floor cleaning and circulation.

⚠️ Important Purchase Notice

Professional installation is recommended. Confirm your system uses a 5-port Caretaker valve with 2-inch plumbing before ordering; systems with 1-1/2-inch plumbing require the 5-9-2000. Inspect the shipment upon arrival and report damage promptly.

Compatibility

For Caretaker in-floor cleaning systems that use a 5-port water valve with 2-inch plumbing. Pools built before 2010 commonly use the 1-1/2-inch 5-9-2000 valve. Verify port size, valve type, and the number of cleaning zones before ordering.

Installation or Upgrade Context

Turn off the pump and relieve system pressure before removing the old valve. A pool professional should install the new valve on the existing plumbing, verify all O-rings are seated, and confirm the valve cycles through every port with the cleaning heads popping up in each zone. Check the pressure gauge reading after startup.

Does this include the cleaning heads?

No. Cleaning heads are sold separately.

Does the valve need electricity?
