Product Overview

The Paramount In-Floor Water Valve 9-Port, 2", Black | 004302419003 is a complete water valve assembly designed for Paramount automatic in-floor pool cleaning and circulation systems. This valve acts as the control center for the in-floor system by automatically directing water flow to different cleaning zones throughout the pool.

With its 9-port configuration, this valve is built for larger or more complex in-floor cleaning layouts that require multiple return circuits. It helps cycle water through floor heads, steps, benches, spas, and other cleaning zones so the pool receives strong, organized circulation without manual valve switching.

This Paramount water valve operates using water pressure from the pool system, meaning it does not require electricity. It is ideal for replacing a worn, cracked, leaking, or underperforming Paramount 9-port valve assembly.

Ideal For

• Paramount in-floor cleaning systems
• 9-zone in-floor pool cleaning layouts
• Pools with floor, step, bench, and spa cleaning heads
• Replacing damaged or aging Paramount water valves
• Restoring automatic cleaning zone rotation
• New construction in-floor cleaning systems
• Pool remodels and equipment pad upgrades
• High-flow pool circulation systems
• Professional pool service and repair applications

Key Features

• 9-port water valve design — distributes water to multiple cleaning zones for broad pool coverage.
• 2-inch connection size — built for higher-flow plumbing systems commonly used with in-floor pool cleaning systems.
• Water-powered operation — operates automatically when the connected pump is running.
• Non-electric design — no electrical wiring required for valve cycling.
• Black valve assembly — matches common Paramount valve systems and equipment pad components.
• Automatic zone sequencing — directs flow from one circuit to another to power in-floor pop-up heads.
• Supports full-pool cleaning coverage — helps clean floors, steps, benches, spas, and water feature circuits depending on system design.
• Pause mode feature — allows convenient service or inspection of a selected valve position.
• Genuine Paramount part — designed for compatibility with Paramount in-floor cleaning and circulation products.
• Complete valve replacement — suitable when the existing valve is cracked, leaking, worn, or no longer indexing properly.

Benefits

The Paramount 004302419003 9-Port Water Valve helps restore the automatic cycling action that makes Paramount in-floor cleaning systems effective. Instead of sending water to all cleaning heads at once, the valve sends strong flow to selected zones in sequence, helping pop-up heads operate with better pressure and more efficient cleaning performance.

A properly working water valve can improve debris movement, circulation, chemical distribution, and overall pool cleanliness. It can also reduce the need for manual brushing and spot cleaning when the full in-floor system is operating as designed.

Because this valve is water-powered and non-electric, it provides dependable automatic operation without requiring separate electrical controls at the valve.

Specifications

Included Components

• 1 × Paramount 9-port 2" black water valve assembly

Note: Depending on supplier packaging, complete 9-port assemblies may consist of paired valve components designed to work together for 9-zone operation. Confirm package contents before installation if matching an existing system layout.

Installation Notes

This water valve should be installed by a qualified pool professional familiar with Paramount in-floor cleaning systems. Proper installation depends on the pool’s original hydraulic design, number of circuits, valve layout, pump sizing, and plumbing configuration.

Before replacement, turn off all pool equipment, relieve system pressure, and verify the existing valve part number, port count, connection size, and color. Plumbing should be aligned correctly to avoid stress on the valve body. After installation, check for leaks and confirm that each zone indexes properly while the pump is running.

If the pool has poor cleaning performance, low head pressure, or zones that do not rotate, inspect related components such as the module, valve top, base O-rings, band clamps, pressure gauge, and pump flow before replacing the complete valve.
