Here’s a breakdown of how a swimming pool solenoid valve works and its typical uses:

Functionality: Electromagnetic Coil: When an electric current is applied to the coil, it generates a magnetic field that pulls a plunger or diaphragm, allowing or blocking the flow of water through the valve. Control: These valves are often controlled by the pool’s automation system. They can be turned on or off remotely, for example, to regulate water flow to different pool areas, filtration systems, or chemical dispensers. Precision: Solenoid valves can be very precise, allowing for controlled adjustments in water flow, which is crucial for maintaining water chemistry or controlling the operation of various pool systems.
