Pool Valet
About Pool Valet
Pool Valet Cleaning System was invented in 1967 and was the first automatic cleaning system manufactured by Paramount Pool & Spa Systems. Its innovative design is based on a network of nozzles that are inside the pool floor, inside fountains or spas floors, which grouped together in cleaning zones, clean all the area with pressured water coming from the main pool. The nozzles are installed in the floor of the pool, on the benches or on the stairs, and they clean any surface and corner regardless of the shape of the pool; they do return back to their place, flat with the surface once the work is done. The nozzles are hidden in the pool floor, therefore they do not bother the pool users at all. Using the main filtration pump system in any domestic, small or medium-size pool turns it into a high-efficiency pool with an automatic maintenance at a very low operational cost. Pool Valet works when the Filtration System works as well, without any other additional costs. In medium-size pools or with incompatible filtration systems, an additional pump is used to supply the nozzles with pre-filtered water from the main pool and is working while the filtration system is on.
Pool Valet system works with a Distribution Valve which is sending the water from the pump to different cleaning zones. The working time of the Valve is calculated through a hydraulic effect, therefore the Valve does not need any additional elements in order to program it. The ingenious internal mechanism of the Distribution Valve works with the water flow and pressure, it is completely hydraulic and has an exceptional durability and reliability.
Due to its exceptional durability, the cleaning nozzles do not have any mechanism to make them work, just like the Distribution Valve. The Pool Valet system is still installed nowadays, since 1967, although it has been improved as time went by.
By just sweeping the pool, the dirt gets set in some areas and does not get out of the pool. The Pool Valet System was improved by adding the MDX Active Drain, whose role is to precisely collect the dirt swept by the Pool Valet's nozzles. This dirt is sent to a big Pre-Filter, the Debris Canister which deposits the residues to be eliminated later. The MDX Active Drain and the Debris Canister are very important elements for the Pool Valet system to work properly.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the Pool Valet system clean the pool?
Pool Valet uses a network of nozzles installed in the pool floor, benches and stairs, grouped in cleaning zones. A hydraulic distribution valve sends pressurized water from the pump to each zone in turn. The nozzles rise and rotate to sweep the surface, then return flush with the floor when the work is done. The dirt is taken out of the pool by the MDX Active Drain and collected in the Debris Canister.
Does Pool Valet need an extra pump or electricity?
In domestic, small or medium-size pools, Pool Valet uses the main filtration pump and works whenever the filtration system works, with no additional costs. In medium-size pools or with incompatible filtration systems, an additional pump supplies the nozzles with pre-filtered water from the main pool. The distribution valve is completely hydraulic and works without electricity.
Do Pool Valet nozzles need maintenance?
The nozzles have no moving parts, springs or other wearable components, and the distribution valve works hydraulically, so no maintenance is needed for them. The basket of the Debris Canister is easy to check and empty.
Can an old Pool Valet system be renewed or upgraded?
Yes. The Pool Valet Retro nozzle can be glued into the existing Pool Valet housing to renew, repair or upgrade an old system, with a larger cleaning radius and eight colors to match the pool finish, without breaking the pool floor.
Advantages of the Pool Valet System
Pool Cleaning and Water Circulation in one, single system.
The only system in the world without any moving parts inside their nozzles - there is no need for any maintenance.
The dual method of cleaning eliminates the possibility of having dirty areas - the swimming pool remains totally clean and healthy.
The technology has been proven, as the nozzles have been installed all over the world since 1967.
The jets have an exclusive design for a better cleaning!
No maintenance - no mobile parts, springs or any other components that can wear out.
Complete cleaning - Each nozzle discharges a double jet of water eliminating any dirt, the entire swimming pool area is covered by the nozzles cleaning radius, without leaving any place uncovered.
The jets - rise and rotate sequentially in such a manner that every cycle of cleaning leaves the zones clean and healthy.
The entire pool is controlled - the stairs, the underwater chairs and benches and the integrated spas are all included in the same cycle of cleaning.
Comfort and security - when the swimming pool is clean, the jets return into the pool floor, out of sight.
Automatically cleaning while the swimming pool is still used.
Pool Valet is cleaning any part of the swimming pool without leaving dirt on the stairs, benches, underwater chairs or spas.
The System works without any cables or hoses and without having to be supervised. You can take advantage of the swimming pool while the pool is cleaning itself, not interfering with anything.
The swimming pool is aesthetically pleasant to the eye because the pool is always clean. The absence of the cables or hoses, floating devices or robots, gives a perfect view of the pool.
The distributing valve is completely hydraulic, working without electricity.
The sequence of the cycle is automatic and a button which has two positions gives the possibility to manually control the functioning any time is necessary.
The unique system with a modular design which makes the installation very easy and less costly, a system that is easy to troubleshoot. This system gives fewer problems to the end customer.
Economical operation, there is no need of extra electricity or any additional sources, only the main pool water.
Old conventional systems without Pool Valet
Old swimming pools, without a Pool Valet cleaning system, create zones without an efficient water circulation, so algae can grow and the final user has to use much more chemical products to fight against them. The bad water circulation also creates a superficial layer of sun heated water, causing a quick evaporation and also creating cold water spots in the swimming pool.
Pools with Pool Valet
The chemical products are dissolved and dispensed efficiently and the heat distribution is taking place from the bottom of the pool - which results in significant savings on chemical products and, since the pool is heated from the floor up, reduces electricity costs and water evaporation.
The MDX Active Drain
Designed especially as a part of the In Floor Cleaning System, the MDX takes the dirt out of the pool.
The Debris Canister
Installed as a pre-filter in between the pump suction and the drain, retains big quantities of residues, protecting the pump and giving a big functional autonomy of the entire system.
Easy to check and empty; the dirt is removed from the inside basket. Retains 400% more debris than a conventional pump basket.
