Abstract
A pool valve module includes a conical outer plate, a conical slider plate, and an impeller. The outer plate includes an inlet port near a narrow end of the outer plate and a plurality of elongated outlet ports extending through the outer plate. The slider plate is rotatable within the outer plate and includes a slider plate outlet and a slider plate inlet. The impeller is rotatably coupled to the slider plate, and the slider plate rotates within the outer plate responsive to rotation of the impeller. The slider plate rotates between at least three positions: a first position that distributes water through a first outlet port but no other ports; a second position that distributes water through the first and second outlet ports but not other outlet ports; and a third position that distributes water through the second outlet port but no other outlet ports.
