Ophjerg SP0729 2-Way Ball Valve for Hayward Pool Filter | 1.5in MIP x 1.5in - 1.25in | Above Ground

Smart upgrade for your pool plumbing

Ophjerg SP0729 is a durable 2-way ball valve designed for Hayward pool filters and above-ground systems. With 1.5in MIP connections on both ends and compatibility with 1.25in to 1.5in hoses, this valve sits neatly in many common pool setups. The polished plastic body is non-corrosive and built for long service life, while Teflon seats help maintain a dependable seal over time.

Why pool owners choose SP0729

• High-flow efficiency: rated for up to 50 psi, it supports steady water movement without major resistance.
• Clear flow control: a dial handle provides instant visual feedback on valve position and flow direction.
• Versatile compatibility: 1.5in MIP connectors and hose adapters cover popular hose sizes used in residential pools.
• Simple maintenance: the 1.5in valve union end aligns the ball smoothly and makes disassembly straightforward for inspections or replacements.

In real-world use, this valve shines when replacing worn components, configuring seasonal setups, or maintaining clear control over pump output. With its compact footprint, it fits neatly near the filter and skimmer lines, reducing plumbing complexity while still offering reliable shutoff when needed. Homeowners can enjoy the flexibility of directing flow between the filter, return lines, and cleaning accessories, and can perform quick shut-offs during routine maintenance without tools.

Setup tips and care

• Install the SP0729 by threading onto the filter outlet and attaching hoses using the included union end connector for proper alignment.
• Rotate the dial to select a flow setting and visually confirm the position before running the system.
• Inspect periodically for any signs of wear and replace seals if needed to preserve a tight seal.

Note: This valve is a practical replacement part for compatible Hayward systems and other 1.5in MIP plumbing configurations. It is designed for outdoor pool environments, where exposure to sun and water is common, and should be installed following local pool safety guidelines.
