Frequently Asked Questions
How does the S244SV (slide valve) differ from the S244S (VariFlo valve)?
Both are complete 24-inch ProSeries side-mount systems. The S244S includes a 1-1/2 inch VariFlo multi-position valve with 6 positions (Filter, Backwash, Rinse, Waste, Recirculate, Closed). The S244SV includes a 2-inch slide valve with two positions (Filter and Backwash). Choose the S244SV when a simpler two-position valve is required or preferred for your installation.
