"These valves worked for me the first two years, but then failed on the 3rd. Basically they stopped holding back water. For the price a 2-year shelf life isn't bad though."

Pros: Makes closing your pool a snap..
Cons: none
"I purchased these pool valves and love them. after fighting with the rubber winter plugs the babies are a snap just screw them in and then blow out your lines and put on the rubber cap and you are done!! Now you don't have to worry if you got the rubber plug in tight enough or that it might pop out.."

Pros: YOU DON'T HAVE TO DRAIN YOUR POOL TO WINTERIZE IT. NO MORE REPLACING REGULAR VALVES WITH PLUGS FOR THE WINTER.
Cons: NONE
"I WOULD SPEND A LOT OF TIME DRAINING AND REFILLING MY INGROUND POOL AT THE END AND BEGINNING OF EACH SEASON. THESE VALVES HAVE SAVED ME SO MUCH TIME WINTERIZING AND RE-OPENING MY POOL EACH YEAR. ANOTHER GREAT THING IS THAT YOU NO LONGER HAVE TO REPLACE THE STANDARD VALVES WITH PLUGS DURING THE WINTER. THEY ARE WORTH EVERY CENT!!"

Pool Closing is a "snap",
Date:September 20, 2007
By Geoff
Pros: Blowing out lines has never been easier
Cons: None
"This handy little gadget is a must have when closing your pool. It eliminates the need to have four hands when blowing out lines. Simply replace the eyeball return with them, blow out the line and snap the cover on. It doesn’t get any easier then this!"
