Abstract
A bypass valve assembly for use with a multi-speed pool pump is disclosed. The bypass valve assembly includes a housing having a inlet port, a high-pressure (HP) with a HP canal opening between the inlet port and the HP port, and a low-pressure (LP) port with a LP canal opening between the inlet port and the LP port. The bypass valve assembly also includes a HP valve assembly within the housing. The HP valve assembly includes a high-pressure seal movable between a HP sealed position responsive to a LP head and a HP open position responsive to a LP head. The bypass valve assembly also includes a LP valve assembly comprising a LP seal movable between a LP sealed position that seals the LP canal opening responsive to a HP head and a LP open position responsive to a LP head.
Claims19
A bypass valve assembly for use with a multi-speed pool pump, comprising:
- a housing comprising an inlet port, a high-pressure (HP) port with a HP canal opening between the HP port and the inlet port, and a low-pressure (LP) port with a LP canal opening between the LP port and inlet port;
- a HP valve assembly within the housing, the HP valve assembly comprising:
- a HP seal movable between a HP sealed position that seals the HP canal opening and a HP open position that unseals the HP canal opening;
- a HP stem coupled to the HP seal;
- a HP diaphragm coupled to the HP stem opposite the HP seal;
- and a HP valve chamber adjacent the HP diaphragm, the HP diaphragm moving the HP seal from the HP sealed position to the HP open position responsive to pressure in the HP valve chamber;
- a LP valve assembly comprising a LP seal movable between a LP sealed position and a LP open position, the LP sealed position sealing the LP canal opening with the LP seal responsive to a HP head;
- a HP channel extending from the inlet port to the HP valve chamber;
- a HP actuator comprising a HP plug positioned on the housing to plug the HP channel responsive to a LP head and movable to allow fluid communication between the valve chamber and the inlet port responsive to the HP head.
A multi-speed pool pump system, comprising:
- a multi-speed pool pump configured to pump water at a high-pressure (HP) head and a (LP) head;
- a bypass valve assembly comprising:
- a housing comprising an inlet port in fluid communication with the multi-speed pool pump, a HP port with a HP canal opening between the HP port and the inlet port, and a LP port with a LP canal opening between the LP port and the inlet port;
- a HP valve assembly within the housing, the HP valve assembly comprising a HP seal movable between a HP sealed position that seals the HP canal opening and a HP open position the unseals the HP canal opening, a HP stem coupled to the HP seal, a HP diaphragm coupled to the HP stem opposite the HP seal, and a HP valve chamber adjacent the HP diaphragm, the HP diaphragm moving the HP seal from the HP sealed position to the HP open position responsive to pressure in the HP valve chamber;
- a LP valve assembly comprising a LP seal movable between a LP sealed position and a LP open position, the LP sealed position sealing the LP canal opening with the LP seal responsive to the HP head;
- a HP channel extending from the inlet port to the HP valve chamber;
- and a HP actuator comprising a HP plug positioned on the housing to plug the HP channel responsive to the LP head and movable to allow fluid communication between the HP valve chamber and the inlet port responsive to the HP head;
- one or more LP devices in fluid communication with the LP port;
- and one or more HP devices in fluid communication with the HP port.

- a HP valve assembly within the housing, the HP valve assembly comprising a HP seal;
- a HP stem coupled to the HP seal;
- a HP diaphragm coupled to the HP stem opposite the HP seal;
- and a HP valve chamber adjacent the HP diaphragm, the HP diaphragm moving the HP seal from the HP sealed position to the HP open position responsive to pressure in the HP valve chamber;
- a HP channel extending from the inlet port to the HP valve chamber;
- a HP actuator comprising a plug positioned on the housing to plug the HP channel responsive to the LP head and movable to allow fluid communication between the valve chamber and the inlet port responsive to the HP head;
- a LP valve assembly comprising a LP seal movable between a LP sealed position that seals the LP canal opening responsive to a HP head and a LP open position responsive to a LP head.
