ABSTRACT:
This disclosure describes a valve for concurrently shifting two independent flows of fluid. The valve includes a valve body having five ports sequentially disposed about a circle and one port disposed at the center of the circle. The valve also includes a selector member rotatable relative to the valve body between two operating positions. The selector member has a radial conduit and an arcuate conduit that selectively communicates with the ports. One application of this valve is for shifting a recirculating swimming pool pump, filter and heater between a swimming pool and a spa.
